The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina to appear for questioning on August 13 in connection with an alleged illegal betting app-linked money laundering case. The ED is probing the case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).Raina is expected to record his statements before the ED, which will help the agency understand his links with the app through endorsements. The ED is investigating multiple such cases involving illegal betting apps, including the recently raided Parimatch app, which is accused of defrauding users of approximately Rs 2,000 crore.
The ED conducted multi-state searches across 15 locations, including Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Madurai, and Surat, as part of its investigation into the Parimatch app. The funds were allegedly laundered through mule accounts, payment aggregators, crypto wallets, and ATM withdrawals.
The agency has recovered some documents, mobiles, and computer peripherals during the searches. The ED is also probing the role of Google and Meta in the case, as these platforms were used for surrogate advertisements by the betting apps.
This case highlights the growing concern over illegal betting platforms and their links with money laundering. The ED's investigation aims to uncover the extent of the racket and bring the perpetrators to justice.
