It is pertinent to note that the husband-wife duo has allegedly cheated several investors to the tune of Rs 1.19 crore on pretext of higher returns.
The chargesheet was filed before the Margao Sessions Court. Myron, who is the prime accused in the case, is still
absconding. With the filing of chargesheet which is an essential requirement of opening a Red Notice through International Police (InternPol), a
red corner notice will soon be issued to request law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest Myron, pending extradition, surrender, or similar legal action.
It may be recalled that Myron and Deepali were booked by the EOC
for dishonestly inducing the investors to invest money in stock market and other financial instruments assuring returns
of around 25-45 percent on a short term basis on all investments.
The EOC had earlier issued a Blue Corner notice against Myron and
had blocked a villa, a flat belonging to him, three flats belonging to Sunita Rodrigues, Myron’s
ex-wife and had also frozen the bank account holding a total amount of Rs 1.94 lakh.
Additionally, two flats, fixed deposits of Rs 35.25 lakh and a bank account having a total amount of Rs 4.13 lakh have been frozen.
EOC is also investigating another case in Goa against Myron, Sunita and Deepali along with five other accused persons.
Sunita was arrested on December 7, 2024 by the Crime Branch and was
released on conditional bail after being in custody for 20 days. Anticipatory bail application
of five directors of Idyllic Goan Gateways is pending
before Principal District and Sessions Judge,
Margao.
The Crime Branch informed that it is making all out efforts to arrest Deepali, who is co-accused. Along with blocking flats and freezing bank
accounts, the Crime Branch has also attached gold ornaments and
jewellery weighing 4.361 kg which is worth around Rs 3.37 crore.
Another case of alleged cheating was registered at Mumbai – MHB Police Station against Myron and Sunita for duping
and cheating the victims
to the tune of Rs. 5.15 crore. The Enforcement Directorate is also investigating money trails
and has attached properties belonging to Myron and Deepali.
