The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned Bollywood actor Dino Morea for another round of questioning in connection with the Rs 65-crore Mithi River desilting money laundering case. Morea is scheduled to appear before the agency on Wednesday.
This follows an earlier session in which Morea's statement was recorded on June 12. The ED is currently investigating whether Morea and his brother, Santino Morea, received any proceeds of crime linked to the scam.
The case involves alleged irregularities and financial misconduct in the desilting of the Mithi River, a key flood-control project in Mumbai.
About Earlier Summon
Bollywood actor Dino Morea appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on 12th June and joined the ongoing money laundering probe linked to the multi-crore Mithi River desilting scam. Morea, known to be a close friend of Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray, arrived at the ED’s Ballard Estate office along with his brother Santino Morea.
The questioning lasted for over four and a half hours, after which the Morea brothers left the ED premises. The duo was summoned following searches conducted at their Mumbai residences and offices on June 6.
The central agency is probing Dino Morea alleged connections with Ketan Kadam, a key middleman implicated in the scam. Morea, known to be a close associate of Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray, has come under scrutiny due to his two-decade-long association with Kadam. The agency is investigating whether Morea played any role in helping the accused to influence contractors.
