Mohamed Waheed Hassan
INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
Mohamed Waheed Hassan, former President of the Maldives (2012-2013), resigned as Special Envoy of the President on February 3, 2026, following the release of Justice Department files documenting extensive correspondence and financial advice-seeking communications with Jeffrey Epstein between 2012 and 2015. During his presidency, Waheed sought Epstein's guidance on financial matters, investment opportunities, and island development projects. The released documents showed over 600 mentions of Hassan in emails with Epstein. Waheed has stated he failed to exercise due diligence on Epstein, missed awareness of his 2008 conviction, and regrets his association with the convicted sex offender.
