The Mauritius police Anti-Drug and Smuggling Unit (ADSU) on Tuesday indicated that major developments have taken place since the arrest of the Tanzanian boxing delegation last Wednesday for allegedly carrying drugs.
The six member team which had come to Mauritius to take part in the 2nd African Cup of Nations (CAN) Boxing competition were arrested at the Mountview Hotel in Quatre Bornes, 15 km from the capital Port Louis with some 4 kg of suspected heroin valued at US$1.8 million.
A communiqué issued by the ADSU indicates that two members of the delegation, the boxer Patrick Polino and the coach Michel Irenge did not take part in the conspiracy to introduce drugs into the island.
The communiqué adds that following interrogations of the remaining suspects, it avers that the ringleader of the operation is one William Michael Onesmo, a Tanzanian drug trafficker well known to the Mauritian police.
Onesmo, the communiqué indicates, had previously been arrested by the local police for drug trafficking, and condemned to 40 years in prison in Mauritius but was subsequently deported to Tanzania to serve his prison term.
The telephone number of Onesmo was also found in the two mobile phones which the boxers had in their possession.
The communiqué pointed out that ADSU now knows the identity of the local contacts and that they are under strict surveillance.One member of ADSU who requested anonymity declared that investigators in Mauritius cannot understand how Onesmo, who is supposed to be in prison in Tanzania, could have organized the transfer of such an amount of drugs to Mauritius.
Wadau mbona hapa kwa Onesmo michango inaonekana kuwa adimu? Kulikoni?...........Tanzania ni nchi ya ajabu mtu kahukumiwa lakini anaonekana kuendeleza libeneke, sasa sijui hii ni kwa remote au ndo mambo ya Vijisenti?
