New Delhi: The investigation against the Anil Ambani-led Reliance group is bringing new difficulties every day for the businessman. Recently, the ED had attached assets worth more than Rs 7,500 crore. This included Ambani's Pali Hill House in Bandra, Mumbai and other flats, plots and offices of Reliance Communication and Reliance Infrastructure Limited in other cities including Delhi, Noida, Mumbai, Goa, Pune, Hyderabad and Chennai. Taking forward this investigation into money laundering cases involving companies, ED has taken another major action.
According to sources, the central probe agency has attached assets worth more than Rs 1,400 crore. Due to which the total attachments have now reached about Rs 9,000 million.
The total amount from the latest attachments is close to Rs 9000 crore.
ED has issued this attachment order under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The newly seized properties are spread across different parts of the country. According to officials, this action is related to the same allegations of money laundering which ED has been investigating for a long time.
There has been no official response from Reliance Group on this latest ED action and attachment of new properties. The investigation agency says that this action is related to those transactions and properties, which had shown signs of irregularities in the investigation.
Anil Ambani is under a travel ban, due to which he is not allowed to leave the country. His close aide Angarai Sethuraman is among many of his close aides, whom the ED has already questioned. Reliance Communication, a group unit of Ambani, owns the Reliance Centre office on Maharaja Ranjeet Singh Marg in Delhi. It is under investigation for alleged diversion of more than Rs 13,600 crore funds.
