Top chartered accountants who are reportedly connected to a vast cybercrime network that operates throughout India were the focus of intensive searches conducted today by the Enforcement Directorate's High-Intensity Unit (HIU). The raids come after an investigation that revealed the laundering of illegal monies obtained through thousands of cybercrimes, such as part-time employment scams, phishing scams, and QR code fraud, according to the ED.

A damaged piece of furniture was seen on the floor in what appeared to be a home's living room in the scene's visuals.

The police have started a manhunt for the accused after the ED team visited the local police station to discuss the situation.

Information about the case

Hindustan Times obtained evidence indicating that the ED conducted raids on a number of chartered accountants.

According to the ED, thousands of reported crime cases were examined comprehensively with the assistance of I4C and FIU-IND, and it was discovered that criminal funds were being deposited into 15,000 mule accounts.

After that, credit and debit cards were acquired. These cards were used to send money to top up virtual accounts on Pyypl Payment Aggregator, which is situated in the United Arab Emirates. Then, according to the ED, money from Pyypl was utilized to purchase cryptocurrency.

It further stated that dubious chartered accountants were operating the entire network.

The central, national organization in charge of receiving, processing, analyzing, and communicating information on questionable financial transactions to law enforcement and foreign FIUs is the Financial Intelligence Unit-India (FIU-IND).

The Home Ministry launched the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) to combat cybercrime in the nation.
