Mauritian police released former Finance Minister Renganaden Padayachy on bail after he spent five days in custody as part of a fraud probe by the Financial Crimes Commission.
Last week, the FCC arrested Padayachy and ex-central bank governor Harvesh Seegolam over allegations of “fraud by abuse of position.” The arrests related to the acquisition of shares by Mauritius Investment Corp., a subsidiary of the central bank.
