Chinese Hawala Scam: ED Registers Money Laundering Case
cancel

New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday said it has registered a case of money laundering against Luo Sang alias Charlie Peng and others in Chinese hawala scam.

A top ED official told IANS, "We have registered a case of money laundering under Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA) in Chinese hawala scam."

The financial probe agency action comes days after the Income Tax department on August 11 mounted a search at various premises of identified Chinese entities, their close confederates and a couple of bank employees.

The IT department action was followed by credible information with the tax department that a few Chinese individuals and their Indian associates were involved in money laundering and 'hawala' transactions, via a series of shell entities.

The search operation revealed that at the behest of Chinese individuals, over 40 bank accounts were created in various dummy entities entering credits of more than Rs 1,000 crore over the period.

A Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) statement also said that a subsidiary of a Chinese company and its related concerns have taken over Rs 100 crore bogus advances from shell entities for opening retail showrooms in India.

Incriminating documents linked to hawala transactions and laundering of money with the active involvement of bank employees and chartered accountants have been found during the search.

Evidence of foreign hawala transactions involving Hong Kong and US dollars has also been unearthed. The tax department is continuing further investigation.
