Unveiling the Noida Web of Illicit Adult Entertainment

The Enforcement Directorate raided the premises of a Noida couple for allegedly producing adult videos at home and supplying them to a Cyprus-based company. The operation led to cash seizures and exposed illegal financial gains through international remittances tied to adult content distribution.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted a raid on Friday targeting a couple from Noida, suspected of creating adult content with models at their residence. They allegedly sent these videos to a Cyprus-based company, known for hosting international pornographic sites.

During the search, Rs 8 lakh in cash was seized, according to a statement by the federal probe agency. The operation was part of an investigation under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) into Subdigi Ventures Private Limited and its promoters, allegedly run by the couple.

The probe found illegal remittances amounting to Rs 15.66 crore in bank accounts associated with the company, with additional funds transferred to an undisclosed bank account in the Netherlands. The earnings, retained by the couple, were unlawfully repatriated as payments for adult content services.
