The Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) Mauritius is pleased to share the Second Terrorist Financing Risk Assessment of Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs) in Mauritius. Published by the Ministry of Financial Services and Economic Planning (MFSEP), the report assesses the terrorist financing risks facing the NPO sector, the effectiveness of existing mitigation measures, and identifies areas for continued vigilance. The assessment concludes that the overall risk of terrorist financing abuse of the NPO sector in Mauritius is Low.<\/p>\n

The FIU encourages NPOs, reporting persons and other stakeholders to make use of this publication to strengthen their understanding of terrorist financing risks and support the implementation of effective risk-based AML\/CFT measures.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t

The FIU encourages reporting persons, competent authorities and other stakeholders to make use of this publication to enhance their understanding of the financial aspects of transnational organised crime and strengthen the detection and reporting of suspicious activities.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t

Following a press article in Defi Plus today the 22nd May of 2026 as reproduced on social media, the Financial Intelligence Unit (the FIU) wishes to inform all stakeholders that the Head of the FIU had to attend MANDATORY Head of FIU meetings as follows:
\n\u2013\tESAAMLG meetings (twice per year) as headed by the Head of Delegation from the Ministry of Financial Services and Economic Planning
\n\u2013\tEgmont Group meetings (twice per year) which regroup all FIUs of the world
\n\u2013\tSADC Meeting on AML\/CFT to align the position of all SADC countries on AML\/CFT matters (attended once)
\n\u2013\tIACCC Associate Membership meetings to discuss relevant issues pertaining to all members (once a year)
\nAll those meetings were important to re-establish strong relationships with our stakeholders as is stipulated in our laws. The collaboration between FIUs is now stronger and the exchange of information more robust.
\nAllegations questioning the necessity of official travel by the FIU overlook the critical role such missions play in safeguarding Mauritius\u2019 financial system in the area of intelligence. The FATF requires competent authorities to engage in international co-operation to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. Its officials must travel to participate in FATF plenaries, Egmont Group meetings, and technical workshops. These missions are not privileges but obligations, ensuring Mauritius remains a trusted partner in the global financial system.
\nIt is noteworthy to stress that in 2025, the Director travelled in Economy Class when she was entitled to Business Class.
\nWe wish to remind all stakeholders that the FIU has operational independence and is fully accountable to its Board of Directors.
\nThe FIU is an essential link in the fight against money laundering, terrorism financing and proliferation financing and it is regretful that its mandate is being undermined.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t

Roger Clency Dhoorah has continued to conduct prescribed activities without mandatory registration.
