The central enforcement and intelligence agencies have commenced surveillance activities to curb high inflow Hawala (illegal money transaction) money in Kerala, New Indian Express reports on March 14. According to officials with the Intelligence Bureau (IB), a large amount of hawala money would flow into Kerala from the Gulf countries. “Since the Gulf is a major source of hawala funding, some places in Ernakulam District will be under surveillance. According to our assessment, a lot of hawala money will be brought from Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh,” officials of the Intelligence Bureau said. In their estimation, hawala money is likely to flow from the Gulf countries to Malappuram, Kozhikode, Kollam, Kannur and Kasargod Districts. There are also possibilities of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) flowing to the state during this period through the Gulf countries, Nepal and Bangladesh borders.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has initiated money laundering investigation against diamond trader Afroz Mohamed Hasanfatta, The Hindustan Times reports on May 1. The ED claimed to have unearthed a hawala (illegal money transaction) racket running into nearly INR 7 billion. The Foreign Exchange Management Act makes it a civil offence for anyone to carry out a foreign currency transaction without the permission of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The Prevention of Money Laundering Act under which Hasanfatta is being probed is a criminal offence punishable with a seven-year jail term. “Who he got photographed with is not our concern; we are just probing him under the Foreign Exchange Management Act and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act as of now,” said an ED official trying to steer clear of the controversy arising out of his photographs. Officials said the ED started probing Hasanfatta for money laundering after suspicions that he could be whitewashing black money in the garb of diamond trade.

The ED raids in Delhi and Amritsar were based on information provided by Australian authorities who were trailing the network.
