A Maldivian man was fined MR 22,000 (USD 1,426) on 18 May 2003 for stealing two T-shirts from a shop in Thinadhoo island of Gaaf Dhaal atoll.
Ashraf Mohamed, who is both a fisherman and diver, was found with the stolen T-shirts when he was stopped by the police on patrol at 10:30 PM on August 26 last year.
He pleaded guilty at the preliminary hearing and requested a fine instead of jail time, which the court granted, according to a Maldivian native Dhivehi language report by local media outlet Vaguthu on 20 May 2023.
Criminal Court Judge Saf'at Habib sentenced him to pay the fine within four months, avoiding a jail term of four months and 24 days as per the Penal Code.
