Various Versions
The 30 seconds clip appearing to show huge stacks of black money is circulating online with different claims, in various languages. Some versions said the said person tried to burn the crores of unaccounted currency while officials from finance department were to raid his home. The video also appeared in other countries like Pakistan and Russia with similar black money claims mentioning names of local politicians or businessmen. While one version mentioned Russian senator Arashukov, another one mentioned Pakistani politician Agha Siraj Durrani.
Not Stacks of Black Money
Yes, what you see in the popular video is not real stacks of black money in someone’s godown. It is in fact an Art installation in Spain showing a room filled with stacks of various currency notes. The artist Alejandro Monge shared the video on his Instagram account monge_art (shown above). The currency notes are also not real and made out of paint. The other two videos below from his Instagram account confirm the same. The artist created it in detail for Art Madrid festival in 2018.
So, the messages saying the video shows huge stacks of black money in godown of a politician/businessman are just hoaxes. In July 2018, however, Tamil Nadu Income Tax Department recovered over 100 Crore of suspected unaccounted money in cash after multiple raids in a road construction firm. They also seized nearly 90 Kg of Gold bullion. News reports of the incident showed somewhat similar pictures of huge stacks of currency notes. It’s possible someone mixed up the real news item and the video of art installation showing stacks of cash.
