Police in Mauritius on Sunday arrested the island’s former prime minister Pravind Jugnauth in a money-laundering probe and seized stacks of cash in raids on fellow suspects’ homes, officials said.
Officers detained the 63-year-old along with his wife Kobita Jugnauth on Saturday and questioned them for several hours, police sources who asked not to be named told AFP.

Pravind Jugnauth’s lawyer Raouf Gulbul told reporters: “He gave his version of events and denied the allegations made against him.”
