Deven Anacootee Denies Any Link to 'Pima Info' Facebook Page
Deven Anacootee, under investigation by the CCID cybercrime unit, says he has no knowledge of the Pima Info social media page.
Deven Anacootee, who is currently under investigation by the Central Criminal Investigation Department's cybercrime unit in Mauritius, has denied any connection to a Facebook page known as Pima Info, according to a report by Le Defi Media.
Anacootee stated plainly: "I do not know the Pima Info page." The denial comes amid growing scrutiny of his online activities, following his summoning by the CCID, the main serious-crime investigation body in Mauritius, which has a dedicated unit handling cybercrime and digital offences.
Pima Info is a social media page that has been circulating content in Mauritius, though its exact role in the investigation has not been publicly detailed. The denial by Anacootee suggests authorities may be examining whether he had any involvement in running or contributing to the page as part of a broader probe.
Anacootee has already been at the centre of several legal and public controversies in recent months. His lawyer has previously stated that his client is not concerned by comments made by activist Bruneau Laurette, a prominent figure in Mauritian civil society who has been vocal on matters of public accountability. The case has drawn considerable attention in local media, with each development closely followed by the public.
The CCID, which falls under the Mauritius Police Force, is empowered to investigate serious and complex crimes including financial offences and cybercrime. Being summoned by the CCID does not amount to a charge or conviction, but signals that a person is of interest to investigators.
What this means: For ordinary Mauritians and observers following the case, Anacootee's denial of any link to Pima Info is a significant statement in a probe that touches on how social media is being used and potentially misused in the country. Mauritius has seen increasing attention placed on online content and its legal implications, particularly in the context of recent civil unrest and public debate. The outcome of this investigation could have implications for how cybercrime laws are applied to social media activity on the island.
The case continues to develop, and no charges have been confirmed as of the time of reporting.
