Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Jean Hubert Celerine, also known as Franklin, could not have imagined that his decision, ill-advised for all intents and purposes, to go public in a bid to run down social activist-politician Bruneau Laurette would open up such a can of worms that has caused more harm to himself \u2013 and it now seems to some high-profile individuals as well \u2013 than what he bargained for.<\/p>\n

The worms that have come to the surface to date have shed light on the extent of drug importation, proliferation and trafficking in the country, especially along the western coast, together with its attendant money-laundering activities as revealed by the current ICAC investigations.<\/p>\n

They have also brought to the fore the alleged \u201cmafia infiltration\u201d of key public institutions as stated by the \u201cbest informed person of the country\u201d, the Prime Minister himself.<\/p>\n

The latest furore that has come to light relates to corruption money to the tune of Rs3.5 million having been traded for the renewal of a Shooting and Fishing and Eco-Tourism Lease to the benefit of Eco Deer Park Association for some 250 hectares of forest land in the immediate vicinity of Ganga Talao, commonly known as Grand Bassin.<\/p>\n

This latest revelation comes in the wake of veiled attacks levelled by Bruneau Laurette about rave parties organised on ranch premises built on the leased lands with the alleged participation of people close to power.<\/p>\n

More details have come out about the presence of one Senior minister, a Parliamentary Private Secretary, a high-level civil servant, one or more female gentry and other middle-men at a secret feast held on 12 September 2020, and who would be allegedly involved in the money transaction relating the renewal of the lease.<\/p>\n
