MY TELNO 108 TO FCO: ILLEGAL BETTING SYNDICATE

1. THE PERMANENT SECRETARY AT THE PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE HAS

JUST TELEPHONED ME, ON INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE PRIME MINISTER, TO ASK THAT, IF ACTION HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN TAKEN, THE YANGS' DIPLOMATIC PASSPORTS SHOULD NOT BE WITHDRAWN UNTIL A DEFINITE

DECISION TO PROSECUTE HAS BEEN MADE. ONCE THAT DECISION IS DEFINITE, THEN THE MAURITIUS GOVERNMENT WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF THEY COULD

INDEED BE WITHDRAWN UNTIL THEN THEY COULD KEEP THEM. BACHA EXPLAINED THAT THIS REVISED REQUEST WAS MADE ON ACCOUNT OF YANG'S LARGE INVESTMENT IN MAURITIUS. I ASSUME THAT YANG MUST IN SOME WAY HAVE JUST MADE A SPECIAL APPROACH TO THE PRIME MINISTER.
