The Supreme Court of Seychelles granted the prosecution’s application and remanded the accused to bail subject to conditions, including no witness interference and passport surrender.
R v Payet & Anor (FH 18 of 2025) [2025] SCSC 86 (13 June 2025)
Given the seriousness of the offences, risk of interference with investigation and witnesses, existence of other suspects at large, and the complexity of the international investigation, the Court finds that remand in custody for both suspects is justified despite the 1st suspect's pregnancy.

R v D’unienville & Ors (CO 03 of 2025) [2025] SCSC 80 (5 June 2025)
No material change in circumstances has been demonstrated; the seriousness of the offence, the accused's deeper involvement, and public interest outweigh arguments for bail. The amendment to the predicate offence does not diminish the gravity of money laundering or justify release.

R v D’unienville & Ors (CO 3 of 2025) [2025] SCSC 129 (30 May 2025)
The applications for bail are denied because the offences are serious, there is a prima facie case against all four applicants, and there are substantial grounds to believe that if released, the accused may abscond, interfere with witnesses or victims, or tamper with evidence. The applicants are part of a well-organised international criminal group with access to resources and cross-border connections.

R v Prea (FH 09 OF 2025) [2025] SCSC 54 (4 April 2025)
The Supreme Court of Seychelles granted police further holding of the suspect for 14 days under section 101 of the CPC, citing seriousness and investigation risks.
R v D'unienville & Ors (CO 63 of 2024) [2025] SCSC 38 (27 March 2025)
The Supreme Court of Seychelles refused bail to Aaron Dugasse, holding that the affidavit disclosed a prima facie case and continued detention was justified pending trial.
HL v R (CR 41 of 2023) [2025] SCSC 43 (17 March 2025)
The applicant failed to establish a change in circumstances since the previous denial of bail, and neither party provided substantial grounds to alter the remand status; therefore, bail is denied and the applicant remains in custody.

Republic v Dubignon (CM 14 of 2025 (Arising in CR 2 of 2025)) [2025] SCSC 24 (6 March 2025)
The balance of interests tilts in favour of continued detention due to high risks of absconding, interference with witnesses, and obstruction of justice, which outweigh the applicant's medical concerns and constitutional presumption of liberty. Medical reports do not establish incompatibility with detention, and detention conditions have been improved.
