The Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA) has appointed Ismail Sajid as the new head of its Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU).

According to the MMA, Sajid will assume responsibilities from Monday. His appointment follows the reassignment of Abdulla Ashraf, who previously held the position.

Ashraf has been transferred to serve as Head of Risk and Compliance, effective Thursday. The MMA stated that the leadership changes are part of structural adjustments aimed at strengthening the institution’s management.

The reshuffle at the FIU comes after a report, allegedly compiled by the unit, was circulated on social media. The report outlines financial transactions over the past two years that involved companies linked to Baarah MP Ibrahim Shujau.

While Shujau has denied the authenticity of the report, police confirmed that an investigation into the matter is underway.
