Future Gaming and Hotel Services Private Limited, identified as the top contributor to the electoral bonds scheme, has come under scrutiny from various agencies, including the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the Enforcement Directorate (ED), and the Income Tax department, over the years.
The company, led by Santiago Martin, widely recognized as the “lottery king,” reportedly purchased bonds worth ₹1,368 crore between October 2020 and January this year, as per data released by the Election Commission (EC) in a 337-page report on Thursday.
Previously operating as Martin Lottery Agencies Ltd, Future Gaming initially engaged in printing and vending lottery tickets in Tamil Nadu but later expanded its operations to Kerala, Karnataka, and subsequently to the northeast region.
