Abstract
Abstract We show that if a positive integer $q$ has $s(q)$ odd prime divisors $p$ for which $p^2$ divides $q$, then a positive proportion of the Laplacian eigenvalues of Maaß newforms of weight $0$, level $q$, and principal character occur with multiplicity at least $2^{s(q)}$. Consequently, the new part of the cuspidal spectrum of the Laplacian on $\Gamma_0(q) \backslash \mathbb{H}$ cannot be simple for any odd non-squarefree integer $q$. This generalises work of Strömberg who proved this for $q = 9$ by different methods.
