Alleged Money Laundering: Two Boats Owned by Poum Luchoo Seized

Two boats belonging to Avinash Luchoo, better known as Poum Luchoo, were seized and transported by truck from the northern coast to the headquarters of the Financial Crimes Commission (FCC) in Réduit on Friday, March 6.

To recap, following the seizure of a boat suspected of belonging to Luchoo's team on Thursday, March 5, the FCC initiated procedures to tow the vessel from the northern coast to the Réduit Triangle. The commission had located the boat, which had been placed on barrels and concrete blocks by the seaside, an act suggesting an attempt to hide or dispose of the boat. Another vessel was seized on Friday.

Arrested by the FCC yesterday, Poum Luchoo and Hans Greedhur are suspected of being at the center of a money laundering network originating from illicit sources. They appeared before the Pamplemousses Court today, where their request for conditional release was denied.
