ED arrests Delhi-based forex supplier in case linked to Rs 903 crore Chinese App fraud

New Delhi: The ED arrested a foreign currency businessman and one of the masterminds in a Chinese App investment fraud case involving over Rs 903 crore and seized incriminating documents during searches at his five premises in Delhi, an official said on Friday. Rohit Vij, the mastermind in the conversion of proceeds of crime into forex, was arrested on June 30 for his links to a fake investment app named 'LOXAM', claiming to be related to a reputed French MNC Group of the same name. The business entities and associates of Vij were searched under the provisions of PMLA, 2002, said an official. After arresting Vij, the ED produced him in a Special PMLA Court, which sent him to the probe agency's custody for five days. The federal agency had initiated an investigation against Vij and his associates on the basis of the FIR registered by Cyber Crime, Hyderabad. It was alleged that some Chinese individuals, in association with Indians, have defrauded various investors by luring and offering unrealistically high returns on investments through their fake investment app. ED investigation revealed that the tainted money was collected in the bank account of a shell entity, M/s Xindai Technologies Pvt Ltd, which was formed in the name of an Indian person, on the instructions of a Chinese national, namely Jack. The probe agency said Jack took the Internet Banking credentials and routed the funds collected through 38 mule accounts, which were subsequently converted into foreign currencies with the help of Vij and his associates through shell money changer entities like Ranjan Money Corp Pvt Ltd and KDS Forex Pvt Ltd, controlled by them, based in Delhi. Vij and his associates converted the tainted amount into foreign currencies, mostly in US dollars and UAE Dirham, through multiple Authorised Money Changers (AMCs)/Full Fledged Money Changers (FFMCs), and gave them to a Chinese fraudster through various middlemen through hawala channels. An amount totalling Rs 171.47 crore was laundered through M/s Xindai Technologies Pvt Ltd and subsequently converted into forex through M/s Ranjan Moneycorp Pvt Ltd and M/s KDS Forex Pvt Ltd. However, from the analysis of bank accounts of M/s Ranjan Money Corp and M/s KDS Forex Pvt Ltd, it was found that within a period of seven months, these entities, under the control and operation of Rohit Vij, converted Rs 903 crore of similar tainted money generated by Chinese perpetrators of fraud and other accused persons.

Air India Denies Allegations Of Forcing AI 171 Crash Victims' Families To Disclose Financial Dependency

New Delhi: Air India has denied allegations from British law firm Stewarts Law that it forced families of the AI 171 crash victims to disclose financial dependency on the deceased to get compensation. Over 40 families represented by Stewarts Law have accused the airline of coercion and intimidation as they pursue claims related to the crash of the London-bound Boeing plane crash at Ahmedabad in which over 241 passengers and crew were killed. "Air India categorically rejects these allegations and refutes them as both unsubstantiated and inaccurate," the Tata Group airline said in a statement. The airline clarified that a questionnaire circulated among certain passengers was intended solely to verify familial relationships, ensuring the rightful distribution of interim payments. 'Understandably, there are some formal processes that must be followed, but we are giving families all the time and flexibility they need. We want to support however we can,' Air India said in a statement. "In order to facilitate payments, Air India has sought basic information to establish family relationships to ensure that the advance payments are received by those entitled to them. Family members have been issued with a questionnaire to allow Air India to gather the information required to process compensation payments. This can be submitted in person at our Facilitation Centre at the Taj Skyline hotel in Ahmedabad, or by e-mail, and families have been given time and flexibility to complete these. Air India has certainly not made any unsolicited visits to families' homes," Air India said. Air India executives said that an interim compensation of Rs 25 lakh has been paid to 47 families, while interim compensation for another 55 families is in process and will be disbursed soon. UK-based law firm Stewarts, which is representing over 40 bereaved families, has alleged that Air India has been 'coercing' families into submitting legally significant financial disclosures before receiving advance compensation. "This tactic has deeply distressed families already dealing with an immense loss," the firm said. The allegations come weeks after the June 12 disaster, in which 241 people on board and many on the ground died when the plane crashed into a medical college hostel seconds after take-off from the Ahmedabad airport. Peter Neenan, an aviation lawyer and partner at UK law firm Stewarts, has represented families in a number of large airline disasters around the world, including the high-profile MH17 and MH370 crashes. He claimed the airline's treatment of grief-stricken families could save it at least £100m by under-compensating families. 'This is the real horror of what they're potentially looking to do,' he said, calling for an investigation into the airline's behaviour. Neenan said the families were not given any warning, legal advice, or a copy of the documents. Some families have told him that Air India officials went round to their homes and asked why they had not yet completed the forms, he added. Neenan claimed families were falsely told they would not receive any payments unless they completed the forms, even though airlines are required under international law to make immediate advance payments to families entitled to compensation. Families are not required to do anything more than provide proof of identity and sign a receipt.
