ED attaches Rs 600-cr worth assets of Iqbal Mirchi family

NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday said it has attached assets with a market value of Rs 600 crore in connection with its money laundering probe in the gangster Iqbal Mirchi money laundering probe case.

These properties include the 3rd and 4th floors of CEEJAY House in Mumbai’s Worli area, an office premise at Arun Chambers, Tardeo in Mumbai, three flats in Sahil bungalow at Worli, three prime commercial shops in Crawford Market and bungalows and land (more than 5 acres) in Lonavala, the agency said in a statement.

The federal probe agency said it has issued two provisional orders under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to execute the attachment of properties that have a market value of about Rs 600 crore.

These properties were acquired by Mirchi in the “name of his family members and relatives”, the ED alleged. (AGENCIES)
