Kolhapuri chappal scandal: Bitter PIL for Prada
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Pune: A public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Bombay High Court demanding that the Italian fashion house Prada should pay monetary compensation to the artisans making Kolhapuri chappals . Prada had presented a toe ring sandal collection at Milan that was inspired by India's Kolhapuri petitioner is an intellectual property advocate Ganesh Hingmire, who has named the leading global fashion brands that have copied Indian traditional designs like brocade, block printing, bandhani, dressing styles like Sharara and the PIL has also demanded a court-supervised collaboration between Prada and artisan associations for co-branding, capacity building, and revenue-sharing."A legal order in this case will prevent other international companies from imitating or duplicating Indian GI products," the PIL said."Expecting these fragmented artisan groups to individually file civil suits against a global fashion conglomerate is unrealistic and unjust," said Hingmire, justifying the rationale behind the PIL also sought directions to government entities and authorities for forming associations of producers and farming policies for swift intervention against international GI industry body Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce Industry and Agriculture (MACCIA), which had first written a letter to Prada about the issue, thinks that this is a blessing in disguise for the heritage product at the centre of the controversy."We will like Prada to impart technical skills to our artisans and set up an excellence lab not only for chappal but also for other products like the Paithani saree and anklet from Hupari near Kolhapur," said Lalit Gandhi, MACCIA thinks that the protection under the GI law is not so strong at the international level. "We have decided to initiate the process to get a patent as it offers stronger legal protection than GI for all the products that have GI registration," said pointed out that India has successfully fought infringement of GI violation at international level in the case of Darjeeling Tea, whose GI was protected by the Tea Board.

Cherry Yacht, Spanish Villas And Rs 800 Crore Vanish: Inside EDs OctaFX Crackdown
New Delhi: A luxury yacht gliding through the Mediterranean. Two sun-drenched homes on Spain's coastline. A shiny minijet boat. And a man named Pavel Prozorov. That is the story unfolding as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) dives deep into a massive forex scam involving the controversial platform OctaFX. On July 3, the agency confirmed it had attached foreign assets worth Rs 131.45 crore belonging to Prozorov, who is believed to have masterminded the operation. Cherry Yacht and a Fake Empire The centrepiece? A gleaming Italian-model vessel called Cherry. It is not merely a yacht; it is a floating symbol of how deep the alleged scam goes. Docked in the western Mediterranean, it was just one part of an elaborate maze of offshore luxury bought with money the ED says was stolen from Indian investors. The platform behind this? OctaFX. Marketed through celebrity endorsements, cricket tournaments and viral social media ads, OctaFX promised high returns on forex trading. But beneath that shiny exterior, the ED says, was a dark money-laundering engine. How the Scam Worked It started with promises – get-rich-quick schemes, flashy ads and high-return guarantees. But the real strategy, according to the ED, was deception. The platform allegedly used mule accounts to receive funds. These were set up in the names of fake e-commerce businesses. Behind them stood shell companies, false directors and manipulated KYC documents. These firms used payment gateways to disguise themselves as legit online merchants. Once the money landed, it vanished. Layer after layer. From India to Europe to Asia. Investigators found funds had been laundered through unauthorised aggregators, bogus service imports and offshore entities. A complex web designed to blur ownership and bury trails. Digital Tricks, Disappearing URLs OctaFX kept changing its login URLs. Web addresses shifted frequently. The goal was to stay one step ahead. Many investors, left in the dark, struggled to track their own money. Trade data was reportedly manipulated. Losses were engineered. Profits faked. The money, investigators believe, flowed into e-wallets and bank accounts operated by fictitious names controlled by Prozorov and his global network. According to the ED, in just nine months, OctaFX generated criminal proceeds worth at least Rs 800 crore from operations within India alone. Bigger Than Cherry The Rs 131 crore seizure is not the agency's first move. In earlier action, assets worth Rs 296 crore were frozen. That included 19 properties – also in Spain – linked to Prozorov. The total suspected fraud may be far higher. Funds were allegedly moved under the pretense of service imports to entities spread across Spain, Estonia, Russia, Hong Kong, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. Each one, according to investigators, tied back to the same man. The ED has already filed two chargesheets. OctaFX and 54 other entities stand accused. The trail now runs through more than one continent.
