  "account": "Casa De Nicole, a villa in North Goa, was raided by the Mumbai Police's Crime Branch on August 4, 2026. The villa was found to be part of a larger cybercrime operation that spanned multiple states and countries. Twelve young men, 11 from Gujarat and one from Mumbai, were arrested during the raid. They were allegedly involved in transferring money from victims' accounts into smaller accounts at a rapid pace. The police seized various items from the villa, including laptops, SIM cards, and mobile phones. Police believe that nearly Rs 500 crore was moved by the accused living in the villa. The operation targeted at least one more villa in Goa and has resulted in two FIRs with an estimated fraud of Rs 900 crore.",
