Mumbai: A Mumbai Court on Wednesday ordered former World Billiards Champion Michael Ferreira to return to India by January 27 and join the investigation in the Rs 425 crore QNet scam.
Ferreira has been granted interim relief till January 31 and asked to appear before the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) which is probing the case.
He has also been asked to surrender his passport and not leave the country without the court's permission. Ferreira had applied for anticipatory bail.
The Mumbai Police Economic Offences (EoW) Wing had issued a look out notice earlier this month after Ferreira failed to turn up for questioning despite repeated summons.
QNet has been accused of using the banned binary-pyramid business model for their multi-level marketing schemes to attract investors. The company operated in India through its official franchisee Vihaan Direct Selling Private Limited.
Over 12 lakh investors in India are believed to have been duped by the multiple companies that have used Michael Ferreira's name.
