Case Mirbel: MRA Estimates Losses of Rs 50 Million

Two cases of fraud under the Returning Resident Scheme against him. Police suspect David Mirbel, director Beltin Express Ltd, have brought from London a dozen luxury cars through this plan. The shortfall for the Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA) would be around Rs 50 million.

David Mirbel was provisionally charged in court yesterday, Tuesday, February 4, for " aiding and abetting in commission of a misdemeanor to defraud the government of the republic of Mauritius through the MRA in the tax revenue . " He was released on bail.

Since last week, David Mirbel was heard under warning by the Central Criminal Investigation Department (CCID) in the presence of his lawyer, Mr. Anil Gayan. Investigators want to know more about his involvement in this matter and its relationship with Dhaneshwar Toolsee, company director SS Motor Point .

According to detectives, the Returning Residents recruited in Britain by David Mirbel renounced their privileges duty on these luxury cars against payment of Rs 100,000. And it is through SSMotor Point he was coming vehicles in Mauritius. So far, the suspect was unable to provide documents, including Bills of Lading to justify the transactions.

The possibility that shipbrokers already heard in this investigation are again called is not excluded.
