In a major enforcement action, India's Enforcement Directorate (ED) has launched a series of search operations targeting illegal call centers involved in money laundering activities. This initiative, which spans across Delhi, Punjab, and Haryana, aims to dismantle networks that have been scamming foreign citizens, particularly in the United States, as stated in the official source.
ED's Investigation and FBI Intelligence
The ED's investigation, bolstered by intelligence from the FBI, uncovered that these illegal call centers employed over 36 individuals. They were reportedly engaged in fraudulent schemes, misleading US victims by falsely offering technical support services.
Search Operations and Recoveries
During the search operations, authorities recovered a significant amount of digital devices, cash, and documentation that directly links the arrested individuals to the illicit activities. This crackdown highlights the ongoing efforts by Indian law enforcement to combat cybercrime and protect citizens from international scams.
