Money Laundering Probe: Deputy Mayor Ramchurn Released on Bail
Pamplemousses Courthouse, Tuesday, February 18th – Events unfolded at Pamplemousses Courthouse, as Devianee Ramchurn, embroiled in a high-stakes money laundering case, was granted conditional freedom.
The courtroom abuzz with tension as the prosecution informed the court that they no longer opposed a motion for bail.
Ms. Ramchurn, a figure of considerable standing as the Deputy Mayor of Vacoas/Phoenix Municipality, must now adhere to stringent conditions.
Two sureties, each guaranteeing Rs 200,000 by cheque, have been demanded.
Further amplifying the gravity of the situation, she is also required to sign a bond of Rs 5 million, a reminder of the severity of the allegations.
Crucially, she is strictly forbidden from any direct or indirect interference with witnesses connected to the case.
The investigation began with the seizure of substantial sums of money and crucial documents from the home of Chandradeo Oomah.
Allegations have emerged that Mr. Oomah implicated Josian Laval Deelawon in the illicit dealings.
Adding another layer of intrigue, Mr. Deelawon is said to have implicated Pravind Jugnauth, claiming that Mr. Jugnauth instructed him to provide safekeeping to a woman, alleged to be Devianee Ramchurn, who would be carrying suitcases.
The claims have ignited speculations, as the legal proceedings continues to unravel a tangled web of accusations and denials.
