Further investigations have uncovered that the couple was collaborating with Technius Limited, a Cyprus-based company that operates adult websites such as Xhamster and Stripchat. The couple allegedly received foreign remittances into their bank accounts, claiming these funds were for advertising, market research, and public opinion polling services. However, the agency’s findings indicate that these remittances were actually payments for uploading pornographic content on adult websites.
The ED has identified Rs 15.66 crore in foreign remittances deposited into the company’s and its directors’ bank accounts. The couple would reportedly retain 75% of the proceeds, while the remaining amount was distributed to the models.
The agency has been actively pursuing cases of illegal remittances and has effected several significant seizures recently.
In a similar case, the ED identified Rs 4,800 crore in illegal foreign remittances to Hong Kong and China. The agency has also been investigating instances of money laundering and foreign exchange violations within the cryptocurrency sector.
