Based on information that illegal Euros and Dollars are being taken to China through Rasuwagadhi border, the Kathmandu Valley Crime Investigation Office seized a truck with more than 25 million illegal foreign currency last Monday.
The Foreign Exchange (Regulation) Act has also provided a reward for providing information about the currency. According to the law, there is a provision that the person who informs will get one hundred and twenty percent of the profit made by converting the recovered foreign currency into Nepali currency. Accordingly, the person who informs about this illegal transaction will receive 50 million 384 thousand 990 rupees . The
Act states that if a person gives information about the commission of a crime related to foreign exchange to the Nepalese government or an officer authorized by the Government of Nepal, if the foreign exchange is arrested and the crime is proven on the basis of the information given, one hundred and twenty percent of the money earned by converting the seized foreign currency into Nepali currency will be rewarded to the person giving such information.
The driver of the truck, who went to China to buy clothes, was arrested in Kusang La last Monday, with dollars and euros worth Rs. The seized money, the truck and the driver Kusang Lama, known as 'Fuchche', are being investigated by the Revenue Investigation Department.
Kusang Lama, known as 'Fuchche', who was arrested, is being investigated on the basis of his mobile phone after he did not reveal the source of the money. The Revenue Investigation Department is investigating the secret of the illegal currency by checking Kusang's mobile phones and messages. The police recovered two iPhones from him.
Although there is no detailed disclosure about the amount, the analysis of the police is that the money is being taken to the Chinese border to bring gold. Kusang had previously spent five years in jail in the case of illegal gold smuggling. On December 13, 2073, he was arrested with 7 kg of gold in the air filter of the jeep of Ba 8 Ch 7420 No. He had to stay in jail for five years after he failed to pay the prescribed fine. Even at that time, no information was received from him about the source of the gold and the person.
