The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) of India filed a First Information Report (FIR) against the NGO Environics Trust (ET) and its top officials for allegedly violating the provisions of Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA), 2010.
As per the FIR , ET allegedly transferred money for disaster relief to address the aftermath of Super Cyclonic Storm Amphan in Odisha to allegedly agitate the protests against the JSW Steel project site in the state. The CBI stated:
JSW Steel, which is a subsidiary of JSW Utkal Steel, is planning to construct a 13.2 million tonne per annum greenfield Integrated Steel Plant (ISP) which has faced continuous protest from the locals of the region. The company received the required environmental clearance from the Union Ministry of Environment & Forest and Climate Change on April 15, 2022. Many NGO’s have protested against the construction of the plant citing environmental and community hazards.
The FCRA was also cited in 2022 by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) when it accused Amnesty International of money laundering in order to circumvent the FCRA.
