The Financial Crimes Commission (FCC) has sent two investigators to Europe to meet the alleged custodian of a recording implicating Jean Carl Berty Elysée and David Thomas in the Mamy Ravatomanga case. The commission wants to verify the recording’s provenance and analyse it technically before Elysée’s announced questioning, according to Defimedia.

The Financial Crimes Commission (FCC), Mauritius’s anti-corruption commission, has sent two investigators to Europe to meet the person who allegedly kept a telephone recording linked to a purported request for 350 million Mauritian rupees in favour of Mamy Ravatomanga. The Acting Director of the Investigations Department and an expert from the FCC’s Digital Forensic Lab left Mauritius on Sunday morning, according to the commission.

The meeting is to concern the “safe keeper” of the recording, in which voices are said to discuss intervening with Navin Ramgoolam, Mauritius’s former prime minister, in favour of Mamy Ravatomanga. Jean Carl Berty Elysée is also to be summoned to Réduit Triangle for questioning in the case.
