The formal charges against seven members of the Major Crime Investigation Team (MCIT) allegedly involved in the death of Rajesh Ramlogun will be disclosed on 31st July.

The MCIT members’ lawyer, Devina Deonarane, has asked for her clients not to be charged with manslaughter since there was no evidence to support the provisional accusation.

<B>Severe drop in local airline benefits</B>
Air Mauritius is going through difficult times. Its profits have decreased by 60 % - from Rs 436 million to Rs 264 million. This drastic drop is due to the rise in oil prices that has cost the company 35.8 million euros. As oil represents a third of the overall operation costs, the company could not absorb the rise. As oil prices are not expected to decrease in the near future, the challenge is for the company to reduce its operation costs. Air Mauritius, in collaboration with consultant company McKinsey, is working on a total restructuring.
