CBI Charges 4 Chinese Nationals in ₹1,000 Cr Transnational Cyber Fraud
The CBI chargesheet names 17 accused and 58 firms in a ₹1,000 crore cyber fraud network spanning several Indian states, with shell entities and foreign handlers orchestrating the scheme.
The Central Bureau of Investigation has filed a charge sheet against 17 accused, including four Chinese nationals, and 58 companies in a sprawling transnational cyber fraud case that operated across multiple states in India. The investigation has unearthed a large, well-organised network that moved funds through bank accounts held by shell entities, routing more than ₹1,000 crore, with one account alone receiving funds exceeding ₹152 crore in a short span. The foreign handlers identified by investigators are Zou Yi, Huan Liu, Weijian Liu, and Guanhua Wang, who allegedly oversaw a scheme that Indian shell companies started in 2020. The breakthrough came with the arrest of three key Indian accused in October 2025.
