Police in India have arrested a man who allegedly ran a fake embassy from a luxury bungalow near New Delhi for seven years, using it to front job scams and a money-laundering operation under the guise of representing fictional countries like “Westartica” and “Saborga”.
The suspect, 47-year-old Harshvardhan Jain, had styled himself the “Baron of Westartica” and projected the image of a globe-trotting diplomat, complete with diplomatic vehicles, forged documents and Photoshopped images of him alongside world leaders. But authorities say his real enterprise was far more mundane – and criminal.
Jain allegedly duped jobseekers by promising them employment abroad and laundered money through shell companies via the hawala system – an informal, unregulated method of transferring funds that operates outside traditional banking channels – according to the Special Task Force of Uttar Pradesh Police.
“The accused was running the bogus embassy from a rented house and projected himself as a consul or ambassador of non-existent countries such as Westarctica, Saborga, Poulvia and Lodonia,” Additional Director General of Police Amitabh Yash told The Times of India.
