NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday carried out searches at eight locations in Bengaluru in connection with a foreign exchange violation probe against American billionaire George Soros-founded Open Society Foundations and its impact investment arm Soros Economic Development Fund (SEDF), people familiar with the development said.
