Shilpa Shetty and her spouse Raj Kundra have found themselves embroiled in yet another legal dispute. The couple’s advocate responded to the PMLA case shortly after the couple’s name was mentioned.
ED provisionally attaches assets including a Juhu flat under Shilpa Shetty Kundra’s name and a Pune bungalow linked to Raj Kundra. Funds totaling ₹6,606 crore were allegedly funneled through nine companies for overseas property acquisition. ED acts under PMLA, 2002.
Businessman Raj Kundra’s legal problems are getting worse, and he’s ended himself in more serious difficulties. His assets, worth ₹97.79 crores, were provisionally attached by the Enforcement Directorate on Thursday about its money-laundering probe into the purported ₹6,600 crores Bitcoin-based Ponzi scam. This has to do with Variable Tech Private Limited, a corporation established in Singapore. Raj Kundra is suspected by sources in the Enforcement Directorate of profiting from the case’s criminal gains.
The celebrity couple’s attorney, Prashant Patil, stated in a formal statement “We shall follow the due process of law and take necessary steps as prescribed under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act to protect the liberty and property of my clients. 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.”
Additionally, the attorney stated, “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 a fair investigation. We stand committed to cooperate with the authorities as and when required.”
