Hawala transactions and the illegal flow of black money are serious issues that have plagued Kerala, contributing to financial crimes and corruption. The Kerala Police have stepped up efforts to target hawala operations, often linked to money laundering, tax evasion, and illegal funding of criminal activities. Through a combination of intelligence gathering, coordinated raids, and arrests, the police have successfully dismantled several hawala networks operating within the state.
To combat the flow of black money, the Kerala Police have partnered with financial institutions and national law enforcement agencies to monitor suspicious financial transactions. By implementing stricter monitoring of financial activities and conducting extensive investigations, the police aim to reduce financial crimes and ensure that money laundering operations are thwarted. Awareness programs are also being run to educate the public on the legal consequences of engaging in such illegal activities.
