<h1>ED probes trust for Rs 406 crore diversion, illegal foreign stay under PMLA s.3 and FCRA breaches</h1> A Maharashtra-based trust and its trustees are under Enforcement Directorate investigation for alleged money laundering and Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) violations. Authorities allege they facilitated a Yemeni couple's illegal overstay after visa expiry, arranged fraudulent Aadhaar, PAN, birth certificates, bank accounts, and provided shelter. The trust allegedly appointed one foreign national as a madrasa teacher to misrepresent foreign staffing and attract higher overseas funding. The Ministry of Home Affairs previously cancelled the trust's FCRA registration for routing foreign contributions to non-registered NGOs. Preliminary ED findings indicate about Rs 406 crore in foreign donations were partially diverted for non-approved purposes, with cash use and misuse of research incentive labels.
