Chinese, Taiwanese among 10 held for app investment fraud

HYDERABAD: A Chinese man and a Taiwanese national were among 10 people arrested over the past few days for funnelling money abroad through a fraudulent app-based Chinese investment scheme that promised high returns, Hyderabad police said Wednesday.

Police claimed to have found a Rs 903-crore hawala-cum-money laundering fraud, but thousands of crores may have been wired abroad.

Investigators discovered the racket digging deep after a city resident complained a few months ago that he was robbed by online fraudsters. He had invested Rs 1.6 lakh through the LOXAM app. He realised he was duped when the app became inaccessible.
