Money Laundering Investigation: FCC Hunts For More Alleged Accomplices

The Financial Crimes Commission (FCC) is reportedly intensifying its pursuit of additional suspects in the high-stakes money laundering investigation involving former Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth. Following the arrests of Jugnauth, Josian Laval Deelawon, and Nitish Chandradeo Oomah, the FCC is now hot on the trail of other alleged accomplices, particularly ‘storekeepers’ who may have handled significant sums of money on behalf of the former PM.

As the investigation unfolds, sources close to the FCC reveal that several individuals with ties to Jugnauth, as well as members of the former regime, are being scrutinised.

The FCC investigators are said to be poring over a cache of sensitive information, described as ‘highly confidential’.

While the commission has yet to uncover concrete evidence of potential accomplices, they remain optimistic that their network of informants will yield crucial leads.

The former PM has vehemently denied allegations that he handed over large sums of money to be ‘kept’ by his associates.

However, insiders claimed that other alleged ‘storekeepers’ may be lying low in the wake of the scandal’s eruption.

Defi Media sources suggested that the FCC suspects that potentially damning evidence may have already been destroyed.

As the investigation is entering a critical phase, the FCC is said to be playing its cards close to its chest, preferring to work with the information gathered to date before taking further action.
