Alleged Money Laundering: Contact Ban with Witnesses Maintained Against Ashik Allysaheb Ameersaheb Jagai

The son of police superintendent Ashik Jagai, Ashik Allysaheb Ameersaheb Jagai, had his motion to vary one of the conditions of his release denied on Tuesday, December 23, 2025. This condition pertains to the ban on contact with witnesses. He had informed the Court that he wished to reach out to six individuals in order to provide his defense to the Financial Crimes Commission (FCC). These individuals include his accountant, a broker, and four business partners, notably Wendip Appaya and Steven Mootoocurpen, among others.

However, the court has allowed him to be in contact with his father, SP Ashik Jagai, as the FCC could not justify the valid reasons for the contact ban. This decision was made by Magistrate Chrisinta Chavrimootoo.

In this case, Ashik Allysaheb Ameersaheb Jagai faces three provisional charges of money laundering. The offenses are alleged to have occurred between April 10 and December 2024 in Vallée-des-Prêtres.
