FIU Secures New Asset Freeze Against Controversial Businessman

The Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) has obtained a new restraining order from the Supreme Court, freezing the assets of businessman Danesh Ellayah as part of an investigation into contracts awarded to his companies by Mauritius Telecom.

The order aims to preserve the assets while the investigation continues.

The FIU had appealed a previous decision to lift the restraining order, raising questions about the legitimacy of its actions.

The crucial question now is whether the FIU can provide sufficient evidence to justify freezing Ellayah’s assets.

The case highlights the importance of transparency and procedural fairness in such investigations.

The FIU remains determined to defend its position and continue its investigation into DNS International Limited.

The outcome of this case is still uncertain as the different parties present their arguments and evidence.
