YOUR TELNO 805: ILLEGAL BETTING SYNDICATE

THANK YOU FOR THE BACKGROUND IN TUR.
THE REFERENCE TO THE VIENNA CONVENTION IN OUR TELNO 473 WAS MEANT TO ALLUDE TO ITS PROVISION THAT A PRISONER'S PERMISSION NORMALLY SHOULD BE OBTAINED BEFORE THE AUTHORITIES IN THE COUNTRY OF HIS NATIONALITY MAY BE INFORMED OF HIS ARREST. AS YANG
APPEARS FROM THE INFORMATION IN TUR TO BE A DUAL BRITISH/MAURITIUS NATIONAL, HE MAY NOT (NOT) UTILISE THE FACT OF HIS MAURITIAN NATIONALITY WHILST WITHIN BRITISH JURISDICTION, AND SO THE VIENNA CONVENTION IS NOT GERMANE. IN THIS INSTANCE. WE ARE CONSULTING LEGAL ADVISERS ON THE QUESTION OF WHETHER PORT LOUIS MAY NOW ACT AS ENVISAGED IN PARA 2 OF THEIR TELNO 40, AND HOPE TO ADVISE YOU AND PORT LOUIS OF THE OUTCOME BY THE 21 MARCH DEADLINE
MENTIONED IN YOUR TELNO 745.
3.
CONSULAR DEPT HAVE POINTED OUT THAT MUCH OF THE
INFORMATION REQUESTED IN PARA 4 OF YOUR TELNO 745 MIGHT BE
OBTAINED THROUGH INTERPOL CHANNELS. IS THIS BEING DONE?
