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:<br \/>\n\u2013\tESAAMLG meetings (twice per year) as headed by the Head of Delegation from the Ministry of Financial Services and Economic Planning<br \/>\n\u2013\tEgmont Group meetings (twice per year) which regroup all FIUs of the world<br \/>\n\u2013\tSADC Meeting on AML\/CFT to align the position of all SADC countries on AML\/CFT matters (attended once)<br \/>\n\u2013\tIACCC Associate Membership meetings to discuss relevant issues pertaining to all members (once a year)<br \/>\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.<br \/>\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.<br \/>\nIt is noteworthy to stress that in 2025, the Director travelled in Economy Class when she was entitled to Business Class.<br \/>\nWe wish to remind all stakeholders that the FIU has operational independence and is fully accountable to its Board of Directors.<br \/>\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<a class=\"elementor-post__read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fiumauritius.org\/fiu\/?p=5834\" aria-label=\"Read more about Communique\" tabindex=\"-1\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__meta-data\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-post-date\">\n\t\t\tMay 22, 2026\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t<article class=\"elementor-post elementor-grid-item post-5819 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-news\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__card\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-post__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiumauritius.org\/fiu\/?p=5819\" target=&quot;_blank&quot;>\n\t\t\t\tPublic Censure\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__excerpt\">\n\t\t\t<p>The Financial Intelligence Unit, Mauritius (the \u2018\u2019FIU\u2019\u2019) wishes to inform the public that, pursuant to section 14C of FIAMLA 2002, the Compliance Division of the FIU has, on 12th May 2026, issued a Public Censure against Me.
