The Special Investigation Team (SIT) investigating the Disproportionate Assets (DA) case involving former Trinamool Congress Councilor Debraj Chakraborty is focusing on the use of shell companies to channel illegal funds. Chakraborty and his wife Aditi Munsi, a former legislator and renowned devotional singer, allegedly amassed proceeds of crime through illicit means.
One such company, ‘DC Global’, reportedly owned by Chakraborty, has come under scrutiny for diverting significant sums of illegal money to relatives and associates of the couple. Despite official records listing Chakraborty’s father as the owner, investigations reveal that Chakraborty managed the company’s operations through his accomplices.
The SIT is analyzing the financial transactions of ‘DC Global’, particularly the flow of funds in and out of the company’s accounts. Suspicious activities include swift crediting and debiting of large amounts within short intervals, prompting a closer examination of the money trail.
Authorities are sharing findings with the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which initiated a money laundering probe against Chakraborty and Aditi. Additionally, around 30 individuals linked to Chakraborty, responsible for collecting extortion money, are also under investigation by the SIT. Several have been questioned, with more slated for interrogation.
