Mr Nagalingum

Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, question (a), whether an inquiry has been conducted by the Financial Crimes Commission, yes, an inquiry is being conducted by the Financial Crimes Commission on this matter. However, I have been informed by the Financial Crimes Commission that as this question relates to the inquiry being conducted by the latter, no information relating to any investigation can be divulged by virtue of Section 161 of the Financial Crimes Commission Act 2023, and that the exception provided under the law would not apply to parliamentary questions. Furthermore, Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am also advised that under Section 131(3) of the Financial Crimes Commission Act 2023, even the Parliamentary Committee set up under Section 129(1) of the said Act is precluded from seeking information regarding any investigation. As such, Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not in a position to reply to this question.

Mr Quirin

M. le président, il est bon de savoir que la FCC a référé toute la question, tout le cas au Ministère des Sports quoi qu'en dise l'honorable ministre. De ce fait, peut-on savoir justement ce que compte faire le ministère des Sports vu que les procédures de transfert n'ont pas été respectées, M. le président, premièrement concernant le paiement…

The Deputy Speaker

Put your question! Put your question!

Mr Quirin

Oui, mais c'est la question. Que compte faire le ministère des Sports vu que les procédures de transfert n'ont pas été respectées, premièrement, concernant le paiement fait par chèque et tiré au nom d'un dirigeant de Pamplemousses SC au lieu du club lui-même, et deuxièmement, en évitant de suivre les règlements de la FIFA, tout en ignorant les formalités de transfert à travers le transfer matching system…

The Deputy Speaker

Hang on! If this is the subject of the FCC inquiry, I won't allow you to proceed any further because for FCC inquiry nobody is allowed to ask any question about the inquiry.

Mr Quirin

M. le président….

The Deputy Speaker

If what you are saying is the subject of the inquiry at the FCC, so I won't allow any question on this incident or …

Mr Quirin

Cela concerne la MFA, cela concerne un transfert.

The Deputy Speaker

There is an inquiry!

Mr Quirin

Je viens de vous dire que la FCC a référé toute la question au ministère des Sports. Ce que je viens de dire…

The Deputy Speaker

How do you know that? We do not have any evidence here. We don't have. Unless you have evidence. There is no evidence.

Mr Quirin

J'ai des documents, M. le président! N'essayons pas de camoufler toute l'affaire. N'essayons pas de camoufler. J'ai des documents ici.

The Deputy Speaker

Are you saying that I am trying to camouflage? Are you saying that I am trying to camouflage?

Mr Quirin

Not you, Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir! J'ai des documents en ma possession que le dénonciateur Monsieur G.M. a adressé à la FIFA et à la MFA. Ce sont des documents véridiques que je vais déposer, M. le président, à votre attention et à l'attention de l'honorable ministre aussi, peut-être qu'il n'est pas au courant de toute l'affaire. Donc, ce que je suis en train de dire, est-ce que l'honorable ministre, à travers son ministère, ils ont l'intention d'ouvrir une enquête et de demander à la MFA de donner toutes les informations concernant ce transfert frauduleux qui a été effectué?

Mr Nagalingum

I am clear on that issue, Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir. The matter is clear. Everything has been referred to the FCC, and I got the letter from the FCC to say that this question cannot be replied in Parliament.

The Deputy Speaker

Okay, next question!

Mr Quirin

Mais je dépose les documents, M. le président.

The Deputy Speaker

Okay, next question.

Mr Quirin

Mais, je dépose les documents, M. le président.
