[6] Cuttaree is the brother-in-law of Dev Virahsawmy, who made history by becoming the first MMM politician to be elected to the Legislative Assembly in 1970.

Cuttaree's book, Behind The Purple Curtain: A Political Autobiography, was premiered in December 2011, at a showing hosted by l'Opposition leader Paul Bérenger.

[8] Indira Manrakhan, the former director of ECO, explained how she received information that led her to believe there were reasonable grounds for an investigation on Jayen Cuttaree, who was in the running as future MMM President of the Republic.

ECO suspected that Cuttaree had assisted Harry Tirvengadum to illegally annex State Land next to his Floreal property.

Attorney General Rama Valayden also alleged during a press conference that Cuttaree had not paid the Maritim Hotel after his lavish birthday party on June 24, 2001.
