GIA publishes list of submitting client accounts in regards to invalidated reports

Pursuant to the recent case where GIA invalidated grading reports of 1,042 diamonds, it stated that it is cooperating with the Indian police authorities investigating the unauthorized remote access to GIA’s grading information database and the alteration of the said reports.

Two former employees of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) are in custody. The police informed GIA that the investigation has reached a point where GIA may now publish the client accounts that submitted the diamonds in question.

A list of the invalidated reports is posted on the GIA website and includes the number and issue date of the invalidated reports, the shape and weight of each diamond, and the submitting client account. The list does not include color or clarity grades as those may have been altered. Pending continued investigation by the Indian police, the listed client accounts have been suspended from further submissions to GIA at this time.

GIA once again has reiterated its strong request to any of the industry persons in possession of any of these diamonds and grading reports to return them immediately to GIA for examination at no charge.
