Former Maldives president Abdulla Yameen to appeal against his conviction and jailing for 11 years on corruption and money laundering charges
Yameen, 63, was sent to prison on Maafushi island on Sunday to start his sentence following the order from the Maldives criminal court.
Former Maldives vice president Mohamed Jameel Ahmed, who is leading Yameen's legal team, said they will appeal against the criminal court's verdict without delay. "It's quite absurd that the court has issued a verdict of guilty without producing its judgment or case report," Jameel said.
