International Arrest Warrant Maintained Against Mamy Ravatomanga

An avalanche of accusations with regional ramifications targets Malagasy businessman Mamy Ravatomanga.

In a statement issued this Tuesday, the Ministry of Justice of Madagascar accuses him of being at the center of extensive economic and financial crimes committed between 2009 and 2025.

Among the charges are trafficking in rosewood and gold, fraud in lychee exports, illicit fund flows, and money laundering operations. Malagasy authorities claim that part of these operations may have transited through Mauritius.

Given the seriousness of the allegations, the Malagasy judiciary maintains that an international arrest warrant is still in effect against Mamy Ravatomanga and that Interpol has been contacted to locate and extradite the main suspect to Madagascar. His assets and accounts have also reportedly been seized by the relevant authorities.

According to the Ministry of Justice of the Big Island, some money laundering activities may have been carried out through structures set up in Mauritius. The businessman is also believed to be involved in the case concerning the five Boeing 777s destined for Iran, as a presumed financier.

In Mauritius, the Financial Crimes Commission is already investigating alleged money laundering and conspiracy activities.
