A recent investigation into a fake embassy racket has brought to light an elaborate fraud involving over ₹300 crore and an astonishing 162 foreign trips. The probe, led by Indian authorities, has revealed how a group allegedly ran a fake diplomatic setup to carry out large-scale financial crimes under the guise of international relations

The accused reportedly set up a fake embassy operation that resembled legitimate diplomatic offices. They used this front to issue false credentials, move large sums of money across borders, and travel extensively without raising early suspicion. According to officials, these trips were mostly made to countries in Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia, all under the pretext of diplomatic assignments.

The scam came into focus when certain inconsistencies in documentation and frequent overseas movement caught the attention of government agencies. The detailed investigation is now uncovering how this group managed to exploit diplomatic loopholes to not only travel freely but also establish contacts and facilitate deals using forged identities.

Authorities say that the money trail indicates misuse of funds in shell companies, fake visa processing, and even money laundering. While arrests have been made, more individuals are believed to be involved, and the investigation is still ongoing.

This case highlights a growing need for better verification of diplomatic entities and closer scrutiny of financial transactions linked to such groups. It also underscores how easily systems can be misused when regulatory checks are weak.
