THE Enforcement Directorate (ED) is preparing to soon attach assets worth crores of rupees of certain sportspersons and actors under provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) as part of its probe into a case linked to an online betting and gaming platform.
Officials said that the agency in its investigation into the case related to online betting app '1xBet' has found that some of these celebrities utilised the endorsement fee paid to them for acquiring a variety of assets, which qualified as the "proceeds of crime" under the PMLA.
They said that an attachment order under provisions of the PMLA would be issued to soon seize the identified movable and immovable properties, including some located abroad in countries like the UAE.
