In an affidavit, Nasser Beekhy says he offered to help investigators at Mauritius’s Financial Crimes Commission (FCC) before accusing the body and its former acting director general, Sanjay Dawoodarry. His statement highlights his distrust of the anti-corruption authority, according to Ionnews.

Nasser Beekhy, who says he wanted to report corruption in Mauritius, is accusing the Financial Crimes Commission (FCC), the Mauritian body responsible for financial investigations, as well as Sanjay Dawoodarry, its acting director general at the time. In an affidavit, he says he presented himself to investigators “openly and voluntarily” and gave his telephone number to an officer identified as Mr Jokhoo, according to his affidavit.

Nasser Beekhy nevertheless maintains that no FCC officer summoned him before he was prevented from leaving at the airport on the night of 24 October 2025. He says he was then detained in connection with the Ravatom case. The proceedings come as the Mauritian FCC investigates two internal failures.
