Pravind Jugnauth Denies Allegations After Long Interrogation
The former Prime Minister refuted media reports following over 11 hours of questioning at Réduit Triangle.
Pravind Jugnauth, former Prime Minister and leader of the Militant Socialist Movement (MSM), was recently interrogated for over 11 hours at Réduit Triangle. This questioning took place on Monday, July 27, 2026, as part of an investigation that has been the subject of media discussions.
Following this lengthy interrogation session, Jugnauth spoke at an MSM meeting to deny the information published in the press about him. He stated that he never exercised his right to remain silent during the interrogation, which could be interpreted as a willingness to cooperate with the authorities.
In his speech, he expressed frustration over the questions posed to him. According to him, most of these questions lacked legal basis, labeling them as « hearsay evidence, » meaning evidence based on rumor rather than established facts. He emphasized the absence of solid evidence to support the accusations against him.
This development is particularly significant as it occurs in a context where political tensions are palpable in Mauritius. Jugnauth’s statements could influence public opinion and the perception of his role in this matter.
Reactions to these allegations and his defense will be closely monitored as the MSM continues to position itself on the Mauritian political scene.
