An Israeli drug dealer David Grihas alias Dudu, arrested in Goa, was operating an import export firm, which hardly had any turnover despite its presence in the state for over a decade, a senior police
officer said.
Superintendent of Police (Anti-Narcotic Cell) Veenu Bansal told PTI yesterday that the company run by David Grihas alias Dudu is under police scanner after the arrest. The company has two locals as its directors, who will also be questioned by the police.
Bansal said that the company registered as Dudu Division Import and Export Private Limited was hardly making any business in the state. It was being operated from Anjuna beach village, where Dudu was staying.
A senior police officer stated that the company registered a profit of Rs 32,000, that too in 2005. Dudu was arrested wee hours of yesterday by sleuths of anti-narcotic cell who found drugs worth Rs 3.8 lakh in his possession.
Bansal had claimed the arrest as a 'big catch' as Dudu, an Israeli national on business visa to Goa, as a drug dealer. "We were preparing his file since long and we had noticed that many drug dealers were visiting his house at Anjuna," the SP said.
Goa police have already sealed bank account operated by Dudu while thorough investigations in the matters related to his import export firm are being made.
A senior ANC source stated that the investigations are being done to verify whether he was using this firm as a front to run his narcotics trade spread across India.
Dudu was arrested by Mumbai ANC Unit in 2008 in connection with a drug raid in Maharashtra.
