Laundering via betting app: Bail for 2; ‘role likely limited to software devpt, IT support'
Mumbai: Observing that prima facie, there are reasonable grounds to believe that they are not guilty and that their role was limited to software development and IT support for the betting-gaming Fairplay app , a special PMLA court on Tuesday granted bail to two brothers arrested in Feb in the Rs 4,500-crore money laundering case pertaining to the app. It said gaming and betting are not scheduled offences under PMLA. The judge said there was no complaint that the two, Chirag Shah (36) and Chintan Shah (34), cheated anyone. "As such, the amount generated by betting and gaming only cannot be taken as proceeds of crime... The amount credited to the accounts of the company of the accused are legitimate dues received... for the services provided by them," said special judge A C Daga. The judge rejected the argument that IT professionals should know the clients' source of funds, saying such a requirement would bring commercial transactions to a standstill as there is no mechanism for this. "There is nothing on record to show the accused were part of cheating. If [they knew] that Fairplay and its directors cheated the public at large and still continued to contribute and accept the amount, then it could have been said they assisted in the concealment and integration of the proceeds of crime, but that is not [ED's] case," the judge said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The ED recently filed a chargesheet against 11 accused, including the Shahs, key player Krish Shah who is absconding, Siddhant Iyer, and Fairplay group, along with associate companies. Fairplay has no legal presence in India, and no entity registered to carry out such business activities in India. It has obtained neither a GST number nor a PAN card in this regard. ED said the platform was engaged in unauthorised broadcasting, which has been settled, but that does not mean the crime never occurred and facilitated illegal betting operations, including those related to IPL and the 2024 LS polls. Senior counsel Pranav Badeka and advocate Gaurav Parkar, who represented the Shahs, said their company, Wohlig Transformation, only provided software development and IT support "at arm's length", received Rs 2.4 crore for it, and paid tax on it. The judge found the brothers' statements given in custody and their WhatsApp chats to be insufficient to establish a direct involvement in cheating or their knowledge of the proceeds of crime.
