LONDON: Three Indians are among Britain's 20 mostwanted fraudsters and tax evaders.
According to the list released by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC), the three Indians have together pulled off fraud and tax evasion worth nearly 10 million or Rs 90 crore. Jointly, the 20 most wanted fraudsters have cost the British exchequer 27million.
Sumir Soni, also called Bhader Singh, is among those at the top of the list and is believed to be hiding in Europe or Kenya.
A British citizen of Indian origin, the 45-year-old is wanted for his alleged involvement in the import of counterfeit goods worth 2 million. Between January 1, 2007 and January 31, 2008, Soni was involved in the import and distribution of nine million counterfeit cigarettes in UK.
He is also wanted for alleged involvement in illegal distribution of alcohol. Soni was due to appear before the Manchester Crown Courtin May, 2010. However, he went into hiding. HMRC said Soni has cost the exchequer 3.6 million.
Another Indian, Anish Anand, is wanted for a 5 million fraud case relating to film production and distribution. This involves fraudulent claims for film tax relief and VAT.
After the 30-year-old fraudster failed to appear at Croydon Crown Court on April 30, 2013, he was convicted in absentia on June 17 and sentenced to seven years in July. His tax evasion has cost the exchequer 6 million. "Anand was director of a number of companies involved in the fraud," HMRC said.
A warrant has been issued by the Central Criminal Court (Old Bailey) against Sahil Jain for tax fraud worth 328,000. Jain was arrested in connection with VAT fraud but failed to appear in court.
