Civil Court Judge Aisha Shujoon has revealed she was offered a bribe of US$5 million by a party to a case she was presiding over.
Appearing on state broadcaster Television Maldives’ (TVM) variety show ‘Heyyambo’ on Friday, Shujoon said that was the only time she was offered a bribe.
“I didn’t accept and raised my voice. So [the person] left,” she said.
Asked if she knew of cases where judges have accepted bribes, Shujoon said she was personally not aware of an instance.
