FCC Questions Plaine-Magnien Man over Rs 3.5 Million Immigration Scam

A 44-year-old man from Plaine-Magnien is currently being interrogated by the Financial Crimes Commission (FCC) following an investigation into an alleged Canadian immigration scam.

Kumar Anan was detained after allegedly soliciting and obtaining funds from multiple victims under the false pretence of facilitating employment and departure for Canada.

Investigators reveal that the amount swindled stands at approximately Rs 3.5 million, though officials estimate this figure could rise as the investigation progresses.

The suspect’s modus operandi relied entirely on social media, where he allegedly deployed fake online profiles to bait unsuspecting targets.

A search conducted at the suspect’s home in Plaine-Magnien has resulted in the seizure of incriminating documents and electronic equipment.

Further victims are expected to come forward at the FCC. The Commission has issued an appeal, inviting anyone affected by the alleged fraud to come forward and cooperate with investigators.
