Trishna Balgobin, businessman, has filed a complaint with the Financial Crimes Commission (FCC) against former Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth claiming that he received threats and harassment.
Balgobin claims that Jugnauth threatened him during a phone call. “He warned me and threatened me,” Balgobin alleged.
He also said that his parents faced consequences after the call, including the illegal shutdown of the MBL factory.
“The factory was dismantled illegally,” he stated.
Mauritian Trishna (Tim) Balgobin is a popular face in high profile Royal Office events in Dubai and in the Arab world.
Some inside agents are claiming that Bruneau Laurette’s right-hand man Trishna Balgobin, second of the four-person team in the Press Conference, had announced that he was political agent in charge of “political marketing” for none other than the former Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth in 2014 and 2019. Balgobin thus shares with Bruneau Laurette the fact that they are both ex-MSM-agents. This is a shocking bit of information, given that disaffected agents often raise the stakes in various ways when they are not suitably repaid for their voluntary services. At one of the Press Conferences, Trishna had even uses blackmail against both Pravind Jugnauth and his wife.
He has claimed in the past that he felt Mr. Jugnauth was ungrateful to him for the services he offered and this could be a personal vendetta against the former PM. More information will be revealed on the investigation by the FCC.
