Court Allows Ukrainian Woman Dictionary in Torres Scam Case

Court Allows Ukrainian Woman Dictionary in Torres Scam Case

A Ukrainian woman named Tazagul Xasatov was arrested in India for a money laundering case related to a big scam called the Torres investment fraud.

She asked the court for permission to use an English-to-Russian dictionary because she doesn't know English well.

The court said yes, even though the Enforcement Directorate (ED) opposed it.

The ED thought giving her a dictionary might help other accused people or cause problems in the investigation.

But the judge said it wouldn't cause any harm.

The company involved, Torres Jewellery, is accused of cheating customers and using their money in illegal ways.
