ED ATTACHES SHILPA’S FLAT IN PONZI SCAM CASE
The property is part of assets worth ₹98cr owned by the actor and her husband Raj Kundra. The couple’s advocate reacts
Businessman Raj Kundra is in a soup again. On Thursday, the Enforcement Directorate provisionally attached his assets, including a residential flat in Juhu, Mumbai, in the name of his wife, actor Shilpa Shetty Kundra, a bungalow in Pune and equity shares, worth ₹97.79 crore, in its money-laundering probe related to the alleged ₹6,600 crore Bitcoin-based ponzi scam. The scam is perpetrated by a Singapore-based firm, and Kundra is suspected of being a beneficiary of the proceeds of crime in the case.
Their advocate Prashant Patil told HT City, “We shall follow the due process of law and take necessary steps as prescribed under provisions of Prevention of Money Laundering Act to protect the liberty and property of my clients (more in box).”
On the face of it , there is no prima facie case made out against my clients, Mr Raj Kundra and Mrs Shilpa Shetty Kundra. We have complete faith in the honourable judiciary. I believe when we make our fair representation before the honourable Enforcement Directorate, even the investigation agencies may grant justice to us. We have faith in the fair investigation. We stand committed to cooperate with the authorities as and when required.
