About the FCC

The FCC, established under the Financial Crimes Commission Act 2023 (FCC Act), stands as the apex agency in Mauritius, dedicated to the detection, investigation, and prosecution of a spectrum of financial crimes, which includes corruption, money laundering, fraud, and the financing of drug dealing.

The FCC Act has repealed the Prevention Of Corruption Act, the Asset Recovery Act and the Good Governance and Integrity Reporting Act and has taken over the functions of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), the Asset Recovery Investigation Division (ARID), and the Integrity Reporting Services Agency (IRSA). Thus, the FCC represents a more unified and efficient approach to combat financial crimes including the recovery of assets. The FCC also shoulders the responsibility of receiving and monitoring declarations of assets and liabilities of specified public officials.

At the heart of our mission lies a commitment to safeguarding Mauritius’ financial integrity and fostering a culture of good governance. With the FCC leading the charge, we are poised to confront and combat financial crimes head-on, ensuring a fair and just society for all. In the discharge of its functions and exercise of its powers, the FCC is not under the direction or control of any person or authority
