The Enforcement Directorate has filed a fresh chargesheet in a case of cyber fraud against a UAE-based payment platform and its operators.
The payment platform, known as PYYPL, engaged in cybercrimes such as investment frauds, illegal betting, and part-time job frauds.
The ED has arrested eight individuals who were involved in the cyber-fraud operation, which defrauded hundreds of victims and amounted to approximately Rs 300 crore.
An organised criminal syndicate, operating under various names, conspired to cheat the Indian public, launder the defrauded money through mule bank accounts, and convert it into cryptocurrency.
