Action i
TELNO 707
OF 181800Z APR 86
AND TO IMMEDIATE PORT LOUIS
HONG KONG TELNO 1094 AND PORT LOUIS TELNO 69: ILLEGAL BETTING
SYNDICATE
1.
SINCE IT NOW SEEMS CLEAR THAT WE SHALL BE UNABLE TO
INVOLVE THE MAURITIUS HONORARY CONSUL IN THE RETURN TO MAURITIUS
OF YANG'S DIPLOMATIC PASSPORT, WE AGREE THAT HONG KONG MAY COMPLY
WITH A WRITTEN REQUEST FROM THE MAURITIAN AUTHORITIES FOR ITS
RETURN. THIS SHOULD PROTECT THE UK POSITION IN THESE MATTERS. WE
SUGGEST THAT ICAC SHOULD OBTAIN THE COPURTS CONSENT BEFORE
RETURNING THE PASSPORT, SINCE THE COURT MAY DEEM IT TO BE
EVIDENCE.
2.
GRATEFUL IF PORT LOUIS COULD OBTAIN FROM THE MAURITIAN
AUTHORITIES A FORMAL REQUEST FOR THE RETURN OF THE PASSPORT. THIS
SHOULD CLEARLY IDENTIFY BOTH YANG AND THE PASSPORT (HONG KONG
TELNO 745 GIVES DETAILS). PORT LOUIS SHOULD REPORT BY TELEGRAM
WHEN REQUEST IS RECEIVED, WHERE UPON HONG KONG MAY ACT AS IN
PARA 1 ABOVE.
