American millionaire Neville Roy Singham, accused of
spreading Chinese propaganda in Bharat and abroad, has now been summoned by
Enforcement Directorate in connection with a money laundering case against
NewsClick, said sources.
A New York Times report had earlier alleged that
NewsClick is part of a global network that receives funding from American
millionaire Neville Roy Singham.
Neville Roy Singham is said to have close connection to
the Chinese Government media machine. This has put NewsClick in the focus again,
as it is presently under investigation for alleged money laundering and foreign
funding violations.
The New York Times had reported that Neville Roy
Singham is the son of Archibald Wickeramaraja Singham, a Sri Lankan political
scientist and historian who was a professor of political science at Brooklyn
College of the City University of New York.
Neville Roy Singham, now based in Shanghai, has a
financial network supporting Chinese propaganda that spans the globe, from
Chicago to Shanghai.
Besides, he financed a news website in Bharat that
sprinkled its coverage with Chinese Government talking points, according to a
New York Times report. The site was later raided by Delhi Police.
The New York Times report had alleged that Neville Roy
Singham is linked to many American charities and non-profit groups that are
working to promote his agenda. These propaganda groups are funded through
American non-profits that have received at least $275 million in donations.
