Mauritius FCC update on money laundering case against Gooljaury and shareholdings in Grand Bay, Bagatelle, and Airport outlets.

23/05/2025

The Mauritius FCC has issued a Criminal Attachment Order in an Ongoing Money-Laundering Case.

As a significant development in its ongoing investigation into the suspected money-laundering case against Mr R. Gooljaury, the Financial Crimes Commission (FCC) has obtained a Criminal Attachment Order on Monday 19 May 2025.

Mr Gooljaury was previously arrested concerning toxic loans totalling approximately Rs 1.5 billion granted by the ex-MPCB.

The FCC investigation revealed strong suspicions that the proceeds had been used to acquire shares in different companies, whereby the shareholders were related to Mr Gooljaury.

The Criminal Attachment Order directs that all shares held by:

  1. Mrs. Anishtabye Natacha RUGGOO in
    1.  Diamoda Foods Co Ltd (operating Paul outlets),
    2. Corpxcel Consultancy Services Ltd (operating Paul outlets),
    3. Goldmond Ltd (operating Swarovski outlet),
    4. Wool Mill Co. Ltd (operating Swarovski outlets),
    5. Mafis Trading Ltd (operating Pandora outlets); and
  2. Ms Neetesha Teelwah in
    1. Universal Fusion Foods and Restaurateurs Ltd shall not be transferred, pledged, disposed of, or dealt with by anyone.

The Order further directs a Court Usher to carry out an inventory of the stock found in the Swarovski stores operated by Goldmond Ltd and Wool Mill Co. Ltd, namely at Grand Bay, Bagatelle, and SSR International Airport, respectively.

It also orders Goldmond Ltd and Wool Mill Co. Ltd to submit a return to the FCC every six months regarding their stock and turnover in their respective stores.

This significant move from the FCC, backed by a Criminal Attachment Order issued by the Supreme Court, underscores the FCC’s strategic focus on targeting the proceeds of crime to ensure that offenders are not allowed to benefit from or conceal the fruits of their unlawful activities.
