The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has taken significant action by seizing additional assets in India and Dubai as part of its investigation into the 'HPZ Token' money laundering scheme on Thursday.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday took further action in its investigation into the 'HPZ Token' money laundering scheme by seizing additional assets in India and Dubai.
The seized assets include those linked to some Chinese shell companies, which are being probed for their role in a large-scale investment fraud. The agency has valued the attached properties at Rs 106.20 crore.
The ED had earlier taken similar action in this case, highlighting the ongoing efforts to clamp down on fraudulent financial activities. Those involved reportedly swindled investors by falsely promising to double investments through the 'HPZ Token' app and related online gaming and betting sites.
The money laundering allegations trace back to an FIR filed by Kohima Police's cybercrimes unit. This case involves 299 entities, including 76 Chinese-controlled ones, accused of cheating investors out of vast sums of money. The ED has conducted extensive searches nationwide, recovering assets and deposits worth Rs 603 crore, as the crackdown on the scam continues.
