A 31-year-old entrepreneur has been arrested following a high-profile operation by the Financial Crimes Commission (FCC) into suspected money laundering, resulting in the seizure of luxury vehicles and high-end watches.

Yashish Emrith was taken into custody on Monday, 23 March, as investigators executed simultaneous raids in Péreybère and Nouvelle-France.

The operation targeted assets believed to be “proceeds of crime” linked to fraudulent activities, including online scams.

High-Value Seizures

During the raid at Emrith’s residence in Péreybère, authorities recovered an Aston Martin DB12 coupé, a BMW 740D, and a collection of approximately 20 luxury watches. Mr Emrith was questioned by officials in the presence of his legal counsel.

A parallel intervention took place at the suspect’s family home in Nouvelle-France. Officers there seized a McLaren Artura, estimated to be worth approximately MUR 30 million, along with a significant quantity of valuable jewellery.

Investigation into Capitay Mauritius Ltd

The FCC’s investigation is currently focused on the activities of Capitay Mauritius Ltd. Detectives suspect the firm may have operated as a front for fraudulent schemes.

In addition to the primary suspect, Mr Emrith’s mother and sister were also brought to the FCC headquarters for questioning as part of the ongoing inquiry.

The Commission continues to examine the source of the funds used to acquire the seized assets, which they allege are tied to illicit financial flows.
