Former Maldivian Vice President Ahmed Adheeb has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for detonating an explosive device on board the Presidential yacht, according to a Maldivian media report Friday.

The report said Adheeb was convicted late Thursday of attempting to kill President Abdulla Yameen by setting off a bomb on his speedboat last September.

Yameen had escaped unhurt, but the first lady sustained minor injuries.

The then vice president was arrested one month later
