The ED has exposed a major conspiracy of China, in which everything from online gaming apps to crypto accounts was used. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has taken major action against a gaming app called FIEWIN and frozen assets worth Rs 25 crore. Investigation has revealed that several Chinese citizens associated with this app have sent about Rs 400 crore from India to China. At present, the ED is investigating the entire matter of money laundering.
### Raids and arrests in Kolkata
A few days ago, the ED raided several places across the country against this gaming app. During this, several Indian citizens were arrested. During interrogation, it was revealed that Rs 400 crore has been sent from India to China through the FIEWIN app. Four people have been arrested in this case, who are accused of being involved in online betting and gaming fraud. Earlier, on May 16, 2023, a case of fraud and conspiracy was registered against this gaming app at the Kosipore police station in Kolkata under sections 420, 406 and 120B of the IPC.
### Network of Chinese citizens with the help of Indian citizens
The ED investigation has also revealed that Chinese citizens were running this app with the help of Indian citizens. The money received from the gaming app was deposited in several Indian bank accounts. The owners of these accounts were called "recharge persons", who were given commission in return for this work. The investigation found that Arun Sahu and Alok Sahu of Rourkela, Odisha were playing the main role in this fraud. The money deposited in their bank accounts was converted into crypto currency and deposited in the wallets of Chinese citizens through a foreign crypto exchange called Binance.

The ED investigation has revealed that an amount of Rs 400 crore was manipulated through this app-based fraud, which was deposited in 8 Binance wallets in the name of Chinese citizens. Through IP logs, it was revealed that these wallets were being operated from China. The Chinese nationals were in contact with Arun Sahu, Alok Sahu, Chetan Prakash and Joseph Stalin through Telegram. All four of them have played an active role in this scam, and have been arrested.
