As part of an investigation led by the Financial Crimes Commission (FCC), Hemkaran Monohur, 57, a self-employed worker residing in Solferino No. 3, Vacoas, was arrested this Friday, June 12, for alleged money laundering.

According to the FCC, a sum of Rs 800,000 credited to his bank account on April 27, 2021 is likely to come, directly or indirectly, from illicit transactions linked to the ongoing investigation targeting Hemraj Monohur.

During a search of his home, investigators seized two vehicles as well as several documents deemed useful to the investigation.

The FCC specifies that investigations are continuing to determine the extent of the alleged violations, to identify all persons involved and to assess the financial damage suffered by the alleged victims.

Hemkaran Monohur is due to appear this Friday before the Port-Louis South court. The investigation continues.
