Police in Mauritius have issued an order for the arrest of the country’s former central bank governor, Harvesh Seegolam over alleged conspiracy to defraud the government.
The action by the police anti-money laundering unit, is the first significant one from the government of Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam, who said last week the outgoing government had falsified the country’s gross domestic product budget deficit and public debt figures for years.
The police said in a statement that Seegolamb was out of the country and would be arrested as soon as he returns.
