NEWS FLASH
The Independent Commission Against Corruption in Mauritius has raided the headquarters of national carrier Air Mauritius after the company’s CEO, Krešimir Kučko, who formerly led Croatia Airlines, and its Chief Finance Officer (CFO) were suspended from their posts last month. Mr Kučko has been temporarily stood down pending an ongoing investigation after it was alleged that both he and the carrier’s CFO accepted a luxury weekend in Bordeaux paid by an aircraft leasing company that works with Air Mauritius. However, the probe into the CEOs decision-making is now being expanded to include a series of contracts awarded to companies since Mr Kučko was appointed as the head of the national airline last December. General Sales Agent contracts concluded with large foreign firms in different countries in Europe and elsewhere are now being investigated. The Commission wants to establish whether these contracts were inked within the standards of good governance. Krešimir Kučko served as the CEO of Croatia Airlines between 2012 and 2017, and later went on to head Gulf Air before taking up the post at Air Mauritius.
