Résumé du Rapport « Financial Crimes Prevention Review » (FCPR) – Systèmes et procédures relatifs à l’importation et au suivi des produits pharmaceutiques contrôlés par le ministère de la Santé et du Bien-être.

Dans le cadre de son mandat de prévention des crimes financiers, la Financial Crimes Commission (FCC) a conduit une « Financial Crimes Prevention Review » (FCPR) au sein du département pharmacologique du ministère de la Santé et du Bien-être. Cette procédure portait sur les systèmes et procédures encadrant l'importation, la délivrance des autorisations, le dédouanement, l'allocation de quotas et le suivi des produits pharmaceutiques contrôlés.

Cette enquête a été initiée à la suite d'allégations de corruption concernant notamment la prégabaline et ses formulations commerciales. La prégabaline est un médicament utilisé notamment dans le traitement des douleurs neuropathiques et des crises d'épilepsie, et fait partie des drogues classées dangereuses par la législation mauricienne. La r***e a mis en évidence des faiblesses systémiques dans la gouvernance, les contrôles internes, la gestion des quotas et la traçabilité documentaire. La FCC a également relevé une dépendance excessive aux processus manuels, une supervision insuffisante, l'absence de systèmes numériques sécurisés et des situations de non-conformité réglementaire. Autant de conditions favorables à la corruption, à la fraude, à la collusion et au financement d'activités illicites liées au trafic de drogues.

La FCC recommande par conséquent le renforcement de la gouvernance au sein du département, l'amélioration des contrôles internes et des systèmes de gestion des quotas, des procédures plus rigoureuses aux points d'entrée, ainsi que la digitalisation des processus opérationnels afin d'accroître la transparence et de réduire les risques de crimes financiers dans ce secteur sensible.

The Financial Crimes Commission (FCC) hosted a half-day Forum on the theme “Role of Boards: Preventing and Combating Financial Crime,” at its headquarters in Réduit Triangle, Moka.

The event brought together approximately 160 participants, including Chairpersons, Board Members, Board Secretaries of public bodies, Chief Executive Officers, Directors and Heads of organisations. The Forum’s main objective was to enhance participants' understanding of financial crimes under the Financial Crimes Commission Act 2023 (FCCA 2023) while highlighting the critical role of Boards in promoting good governance. A particular emphasis was put on integrity, accountability and transparency.

In his opening address, the Director-General of the FCC, Mr Titrudeo Dawoodarry, underscored the importance of strong leadership, sound governance and ethical decisionmaking in protecting institutions against financial crimes. He urged participants to critically reflect on whether their actions contribute to building trust in institutions, asking: “Are our actions building trust in our institutions?”

He further stated that if everyone fulfills their responsibilities within their respective organisations, Mauritius can improve its ranking on the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) and even surpass countries such as Botswana, Seychelles, Rwanda and Cabo Verde. He added, “If all Board members were taking their responsibilities seriously, the country wouldn’t be losing billions of rupees.”

The programme featured presentations by representatives of the FCC, the Computer Emergency Response Team of Mauritius (CERT-MU) and governance experts.
Speaking on the theme ‘‘Board Members: Good Practices and What Must be Avoided”, Managing Partner of StraConsult Ltd, Mr Amédée Darga, shared practical insights drawn from his extensive experience in board leadership and public service, having served as both Board Chairperson and Government Minister. He emphasised the importance of accountability, integrity and transparency in Board decision-making, illustrating these principles through real-life examples from his professional career. He cautioned Board Members on the risks of undue influence in decision-making, including perceived pressure or instructions from higher quarters, and stressed the importance of exercising independent judgment, accountability and integrity in the discharge of their duties.

Ms Aruna Radhakeesoon, Attorney-at-Law at Prakriti One Limited, delivered a presentation on ”Promoting Good Governance Practices - Roles, Responsibility Right Reflexes of the Board”. She set the context by outlining the concept of corporate governance and the role of the Board, before highlighting the key responsibilities of Board Members and the importance of boardroom readiness in a new era of governance and financial crime risks. She further touched upon key boardroom priorities, including strategy-setting, Board and CEO succession planning, agility, independent board leadership, the Board–CEO relationship and the shaping of a strong board culture.

The Forum concluded with a panel discussion on "Promoting Board Leadership and Governance in the fight against Financial Crimes. Participants exchanged views on a range of governance-related issues, including the role and independence of Chief Executive Officers in relation to Boards, the application of Section 22 of the Financial Crimes Commission Act 2023 concerning public officials using their office for gratification, the investigative powers of the FCC, and the crucial role of Company Secretaries in ensuring effective Board meetings, sound governance and compliance with good governance principles.

During the discussions, the FCC also proposed the conduct of a survey to take stock of existing Board governance practices and identify areas for improvement. The outcome would guide the development of practical guidelines for Board Members to strengthen governance, promote accountability and enhance their role in preventing and combating financial crimes.

The Forum provided participants with practical guidance and a platform to exchange experiences and best practices on strengthening governance frameworks, fostering ethical leadership and reinforcing the pivotal role of Boards in safeguarding the integrity of public institutions and preventing financial crimes.

Financial Crimes Prevention in the Real Estate Sector
A workshop organised by the FCC in collaboration with the Real Estate Agents Association

The Financial Crimes Commission (FCC), in collaboration with the Real Estate Agents Association (REAA) of Mauritius, held a Half-Day Workshop for real estate agents on 24 June 2026 under the theme "Building a Resilient Real Estate Sector through Financial Crimes Prevention."

The workshop brought together 33 real estate professionals to discuss financial crime risks affecting the sector and help them better understand their obligations under the Financial Crimes Commission Act 2023. Participants actively engaged in discussions, shared practical experiences and explored ways to reinforce compliance and integrity across the industry.

In his address, the Director-General of the FCC, Mr. Titrudeo Dawoodarry, emphasised the importance of collective action, stating: "The real estate industry is a major contributor to the national economic growth. From 2006 to 2023, 47% of the FDI stock in Mauritius was in Real Estate activities, representing Rs 152 billion. A resilient real estate sector is built on vigilance, transparency and shared responsibility. Making sure that every transaction is fair, legal and honest is the foundation of a trusted market and is essential to the benefit of everyone involved.."

The President of the Real Estate Agents Association of Mauritius, Mr Mahendranath Poligadoo, welcomed the initiative, noting: "This workshop has provided valuable guidance for our members and demonstrates that partnership with the FCC is essential to protecting the credibility and reputation of the real estate profession."

During the interactive discussions, participants raised concerns over the increasing risk of fraudulent property transactions involving forged documents. They also highlighted practical challenges in conducting effective customer due diligence and verifying the source of funds, particularly in complex transactions.

As a way forward, participants agreed to the development of an action plan to implement the key recommendations arising from the workshop. A joint sub-committee comprising representatives of the FCC and the REAA will also be established to oversee implementation, monitor progress and maintain regular consultation with members.

The FCC thanks all participants for their valuable contributions and reaffirms its commitment to promoting integrity, transparency and resilience within the real estate sector through continued engagement with industry stakeholders.
