Alleged Money Laundering: The Poum Luchoo-Harris Bans Greedhur Duo Remanded in Police Custody

No bail for Avinash Luchoo, known as Poum, and Harris Bans Greedhur following their appearance at the Pamplemousses Court on Friday, March 6. Arrested by the Financial Crimes Commission (FCC) the day before, they are suspected of being at the center of a money laundering network involving illicit sources.

The FCC has targeted the assets of this duo, with Harris Bans Greedhur allegedly acting as a front for his associate Avinash Luchoo. Upon their return from the Pamplemousses court, the Harris Bans Greedhur-Poum Luchoo duo was confronted with the seized exhibits by the FCC and the anti-drug brigade. Among these items were bottles of alcoholic beverages found in suitcases, approximately 12 million rupees in cash, and various pieces of jewelry.

The FCC is also expected to conduct a similar operation with the seized vehicles, which include a Harley Davidson motorcycle, another bike, and several sedans.

Additionally, following the seizure of a boat suspected to belong to Luchoo’s team yesterday, the FCC has initiated procedures to tow the vessel from the northern coastline to Réduit Triangle. The commission had located the boat, which had been placed on barrels and cinder blocks by the sea, an act suggesting an attempt to conceal or dispose of the vessel.

The FCC’s investigation is also expected to include the questioning of certain witnesses in this case, as reported from Réduit Triangle.
