Last week the Seychelles Nation and SBC simultaneously confirmed what Le Nouveau Seychelles Weekly had been saying for days - that Andre Kilindo will not be prosecuted for any offence at all. This, despite the fact that his fishing boat was caught red handed with illegal Chinese migrants on board fishing sea-cucumber. Even SFA admitted that Kilindo had committed several offences under the law and cautioned that “certain measures” would be taken against him. The evidence which incriminated Kilindo was irrefutable, and SFA cited violations of the Fisheries and Agriculture Incentives Act (FIA) and the Fisheries Act 1986 simultaneously to have occurred. The eight Chinese fishermen who were found on Ste Andre were all without valid work permits except for two. Two had visitor's permits and four had no valid permits at all at the time of arrest
