The Enforcement Directorate has intensified its crackdown on money laundering activities by raiding multiple locations in Delhi. The operation targeted a 'fake' call centre running a deceitful scheme that allegedly duped US citizens by selling pirated software while impersonating reputable brands like Microsoft Windows.
Sources indicate that the agency acted on the basis of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), launching the raids late Thursday night at three premises in Khanpur. The searches continue as significant evidence is being gathered to dismantle the elaborate hoax.
Preliminary findings suggest the call centre has been receiving foreign remittances estimated at Rs 100 crore over the years, raising suspicions of a large-scale fraudulent network. This development highlights the ongoing challenges of combating international tech-related financial crimes.
