The agency claims that Jacqueline Fernandez received luxurious gifts and financial benefits from Sukesh
Jacqueline Fernandez has once again found herself embroiled in legal troubles as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned her in connection with the ongoing investigation into the Sukesh Chandrasekhar case. This case involves a massive ₹200 crore money laundering scheme orchestrated by the alleged conman.
The ED’s latest action comes after their ongoing probe revealed that Fernandez was allegedly aware of the criminal activities of Chandrasekhar and continued to associate with him, benefiting from his illicit wealth. The agency claims that Fernandez received luxurious gifts and financial benefits from Chandrasekhar, which they assert are proceeds of crime.
Despite Fernandez initially portraying herself as a victim, the ED’s investigation suggests otherwise, stating that she withheld information and tampered with evidence by deleting data from her phone.
The investigation highlights that Fernandez continued to engage with Chandrasekhar even after knowing about his criminal background and his relationship with his wife, Leena Maria Paul, who is also implicated in the case. The ED has indicated that Fernandez‘s actions suggest complicity rather than victimhood, leading to her repeated summons for questioning.
This development adds another layer of complexity to the high-profile case, which has already seen several significant turns and involves numerous prominent figures from various sectors. Fernandez‘s legal team continues to contest these allegations, seeking to quash the FIR against her, but the ED remains firm on their stance regarding her involvement.
