The case against Shaan Kundomal in the United Arab Emirates has concluded in his favor. According to a statement from Dentons Mauritius LLP, the law firm representing Shaan Kundomal and Aurevya Wealth Ltd, Dubai's judicial authorities have determined that no offense was committed and there is no evidence to justify criminal proceedings. The lawyers stated that their client had been subject to "false and malicious" allegations. Shaan Kundomal consistently denied these accusations and cooperated fully with the authorities, providing detailed explanations and written observations through his legal counsel. After reviewing the case, the Dubai Public Prosecutions Office found no case to answer, leading to the unconditional release of Shaan Kundomal. He faces no charges, ongoing investigations, or restrictions in the UAE, where he resides, and is free to travel without limitation.

Must ReadHans Kluge, World Health Organization WHO Regional Director for Europe, stated on Tuesday that Europe is ill-prepared for extreme heatwaves. Less than half of the countries in the European Region have national heat-health action plans, which the WHO deems essential. These plans are crucial for addressing health risks as temperatures rise. A new heatwave is forming over the Atlantic, with Portugal and southern Spain expected to reach 43 掳C this week. France and the Benelux countries are also anticipating a new heat peak, and parts of Central Asia are experiencing 40 掳C temperatures. Kluge emphasized the necessity for all countries to implement such plans, which should include early weather warnings, public awareness campaigns for vulnerable groups, and coordination among health, occupational health, social protection, housing, and urban planning authorities.
Must ReadAir Mauritius is initiating new legal and disciplinary actions based on the Kroll report, which scrutinizes decisions made regarding the sale, lease, and acquisition of aircraft. The report, examined by the Air Mauritius board of directors on June 25 and 29, 2026, has led to the involvement of the Financial Crimes Commission and the police, consideration of civil remedies, and the launch of disciplinary proceedings. Seven senior Air Mauritius executives have been suspended as a precautionary measure during an internal investigation. These individuals held key positions in finance, legal, planning, and procurement, with some having served on the Committee of Purchase involved in aircraft acquisition and leasing decisions. The Kroll mandate focused on three main areas: the sale of five aircraft during the voluntary administration period of 2020-2021, the lease of two A330-200s in 2022, and the order for an additional A350-900 in 2023.

During the same period, eleven aircraft were added to the fleet through direct purchase, finance leases, and operating leases. The total costs for these acquisitions and leases were not disclosed due to confidentiality clauses. The Prime Minister informed Parliament that eleven aircraft were grounded a hundred times between 2014 and 2024 due to technical issues, unavailability of spare parts, lack of re
