More Australian jockeys being questioned in Mauritius
The questioning is believed to be related to the finding of approximately AUD$20,000 at Taylor’s beach side bungalow.
Taylor informed the ICAC that his father-in-law (who left Mauritius just after the sixth meeting) gave part of the money to him as gift, but he couldn’t explain the origins of the rest of the money.
The ICAC is now investigating further, seeking information or evidence from other jockeys that could help them.
Taylor is seeking to return home to Queensland but an ‘objection to departure’ has been lodged by the ICAC although no charges have yet been laid.
Taylor stood down from his rides last weekend and had intended to return to trackwork yesterday, but was advised by his trainer Ramapatee Gujadhur that he wouldn’t let him work his horses as long as the inquiry continues.
