ED arrests 4 in AP ‘Siemens Project’ money laundering case

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday said it has arrested four people in connection with its money laundering probe into alleged diversion of Andhra Pradesh government funds meant for skilling youths in using advanced software.
Soumyadri Shekhar Bose alias Suman Bose, former managing director (MD) of Siemens Industry Software India Pvt Ltd (SISW), Vikas Vinayak Khanvelkar, MD of Designtech Systems Pvt Ltd, Mukul Chandra Agrawal, former financial advisor and authorised signatory of Skillar Enterprises India Pvt Ltd, and Suresh Goyal, a chartered accountant, have been sent to ED custody by a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court.
The case pertains to diversion and misutilisation of crores of funds of the state government disbursed for implementation of “Siemens Projects” in which the government aimed at providing advanced software and technical skills to the local youth.
The money laundering case stems from a Andhra Pradesh CID PMLA regarding swindling of government money to the extent of Rs 241 crore in a dubious manner, the agency said.
The probe found “diversion and siphoning off government funds given to Designtech Systems Pvt Ltd through Skillar Enterprises India Pvt Ltd and thereafter, through a web of shell companies under the guise of supply of software, hardware, materials and services without any genuine supplies”, it said.
The purpose for such diversion of funds was to generate cash and thereby, siphon off money from the system without utilising the same for the Siemens Projects for which funds were sanctioned by the government of Andhra Pradesh, it said.
The ED said it has “established” a money trail of diversion of around Rs 70 crore till now.

Iran announces first arrests over poisoning of schoolgirls, more to follow

[ad_1]
Tehran: The Iranian Ministry of Interior announced that many arrests have been made regarding the poisoning of female school students during the last months, Iranian media reported on Tuesday.
“We have arrested people in six provinces. Investigations are still being carried on. The results will be announced once the investigations are completed and clear results are obtained,” Tasnim news agency quoted the assistant interior minister for security affairs.
This announcement came a day after Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei called on the country’s officials to take up the case of female students’ poisoning “seriously,” saying that it was “an unforgivable crime.”
In recent months, several schools in Tehran have reported cases of a mysterious illness that has sent hundreds of schoolgirls to hospitals.
Hundreds of schoolgirls were hospitalized across the country since November 30 last year in what has been described as a “wave of a mysterious illness.”
Although the exact number of female students affected by poisoning is not yet known.
The poisoning incidents in Iranian schools come shortly after widespread protests that took place in September, against the backdrop of the death of the 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, days after she was detained by the morality police on charges of not adhering to the standards of compulsory headscarf.
