Telangana police bust hawala network linked to drug traffickersForeign drug cartels, especially Nigerians, are using illegal hawala channels to move drug money. International drug traffickers, mainly the Nigerians and those from other African countries, after collecting drug money from local peddlers and customers, route it to hawala operators. The drug cartels, according to estimates by the drug law enforcement agencies, have transferred crores of rupees through hawala operators. The EAGLE arrested several hawala operators in recent weeks for colluding with foreign drug cartels for small commissions. A few hawala operators are exclusively facilitating the routing of the illegal proceeds of drug trafficking and cyber crimes.
