Detective Branch (DB) of police has arrested four people for swindling around Tk44 crore in the name of a multi-level marketing (MLM) company.
The gang had also planned to swindle around Tk100 crore more within few months, said Senior Assistant Commissioner Nazmul Haque of DB’s Serious Crime Investigation Department.
They were arrested from Mirpur’s DOHS area on Tuesday night along with a computer, a projector, a car, company documents and some products they sell.
The arrestees are: Saiful Islam alias Sohel, 37, Moshiur Rahman Khan, 43, Bishojit Guho, 36 and Emdadul Haque Milon, 35.
Based on specific information, the team conducted the raid and arrested them, he added.
He also claimed that the arrestees have been operating an MLM company titled ‘Novera Product Ltd’ without any valid licence for a long time. They have been cheating people in the name of ‘sell product and earn commission’.
Usually, they charge an extra price for their products, he said adding that even in some cases, they did not provide products even after receiving the money and luring people of more commission on sales.
In primary inquiry, it was revealed that this company has so far registered a total of 92,209 customers and swindled around Tk43,52,36,400, said this official.
