Financial Crimes Commission Act 2023
The Parliament of Mauritius enacted this legislation to establish the Financial Crimes Commission as the apex national agency for detecting, investigating, and prosecuting financial crimes. The Act consolidates corruption, money laundering, fraud, and drug dealing offences while granting the Commission extensive investigative powers and comprehensive civil and criminal asset recovery mechanisms. It further defines the Commission’s administrative structure, establishes oversight committees, mandates inter-agency cooperation through a National Coordination Committee, and introduces unexplained wealth proceedings to combat illicit enrichment.
