Hyderabad - Amway, hounded by controversy all over the world, has found no relief in India too.

In a series of raids that ended recently, the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Hyderabad Police shut down all offices of international multi level marketing firm Amway.

With it, the fate of 80,000 distributors of the company has been indefinitely sealed.

The enforcement said that the business model of the company is illegal, refusing to elaborate further.

"Gullible people enrol without understanding the viability of the scheme. We have told people that enrolling in such schemes is illiegal. The act is very clear, Police have the power to search and seize any time. So people should not enroll," the Superintendent of Police, CID, EOW, VC Sajjanar said.

According to police sources, a special team has been formed to further investigate the matter and more arrests of officials linked with the company are likely to be made.
