WASHINGTON:  Gaurav Srivastava, an Indian businessman, is under investigation by the FBI for various fraudulent activities, including impersonating a CIA agent, wire fraud, and money laundering. He used these deceptions to gain influence in US political circles and high-profile business dealings. His actions have had significant repercussions for both political figures and organizations that engaged with him.

Western media cited authentic sources as saying that Srivastava donated more than $1 million to Democratic campaigns, including $50,000 to President Joe Biden’s Victory Fund and around $290,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC).  However, these donations have been frozen due to legal concerns regarding the source of the funds.

Similarly, Biden campaign and other Democratic entities quickly distanced themselves from Srivastava. FBI is investigating Srivastava for multiple charges, including wire fraud, money laundering, and falsely posing as a U.S. federal official and citizen. Reports said that the Indian businessman fabricated his identity as a CIA operative, to manipulate influential people and organizations.

Gaurav Srivastava’s fraudulent business schemes, including false promises related to Russian oil deals, are central to the FBI’s inquiry, reports said.

In addition to criminal investigations, Srivastava faces lawsuits for unpaid rent and fraud in California, as well as ongoing civil suits related to his business dealings. The Atlantic Council, received nearly $1 million from his foundation, has distanced itself to avoid reputational damage.

Srivastava made repeated attempts to suppress media reports on his activities, including filing fraudulent copyright claims to remove negative content from search engines. His actions have affected numerous high-profile figures and organizations across different sectors, leading to increased scrutiny and severed relationships.

Experts said that Srivastava’s actions are questioning integrity of Indian influence in US politics, adding by such actions, New Delhi is interfering in US political affairs and imposing external agenda of their own.

Although Srivastava’s CIA claims were false, this scandal raises broader concerns about the potential infiltration of US political and security systems by foreign actors, western media reported.
