New Delhi, Sep 23 (NationPress) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has dispatched a contingent of four senior officers to Mauritius to deliver specialized training to the island's officers of the Financial Crime Commission (FCC) during a five-day initiative.

This five-day event, running until September 26, is organized under the umbrella of the ED–FCC Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) established earlier this year in March, aimed at bolstering bilateral cooperation between the two countries in the fight against financial crimes.

The training program addresses the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) challenges and the high-risk areas identified by the second National Risk Assessment carried out by Mauritius in 2025, catering to the capacity-building requirements of the FCC’s newly appointed investigators and asset recovery specialists.

According to the ED's press release, “The sessions will feature practical workshops covering various essential aspects of money laundering investigations, financial intelligence, asset recovery, and international collaboration on topics such as cyber-crime.”

The sessions are crafted to encourage active engagement, knowledge exchange, and the establishment of best practices in financial crime investigations. The training commenced officially on September 22, 2025, at the FCC Auditorium in Reduit Triangle, Moka, Port Louis, Mauritius.

The event was attended by Dhaneshwar Damry, Junior Minister of Finance and Chairperson of the FCC Parliamentary Committee, along with Titrudeo Dawoodarry, Acting Director-General of the FCC.

Leading the Indian delegation, Viplav Kumar Choudhary, Special Director of Enforcement (Head Office), underscored the strong bonds between India and Mauritius, recalling Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remark: “India and Mauritius are not merely partners but family.”

He reiterated that the initiative aims to strengthen institutional cooperation, improve technical capabilities, and further the mutual goal of combating transnational financial crimes.

This initiative signifies the ED’s ongoing commitment to cultivating international collaborations in line with Financial Action Task Force (FATF) standards and global agreements.

It represents a notable advancement in ED–FCC collaboration, paving the way for future joint investigations, technical assistance, and enhanced intelligence sharing.
