Bollywood Star Nora Fatehi Faces Questioning in Indian Money Laundering Probe

The ED is pursuing its investigations into a money laundering case in which Nora Fatehi is allegedly involved. After an initial deposition, the Moroccan-Canadian dancer went to the premises of the Indian financial crime agency on Thursday, October 14, for questioning, reports Times of India. Jacqueline Fernandez, another accused, is to undergo the same exercise this Friday.

The ED hypothesizes that money has been laundered abroad. The mastermind is Sukesh Chandrashekar, a man accused in a corruption case. According to the investigators, many Bollywood celebrities are involved in this whole affair.

The case is based on a First Information Report (FIR) filed by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Delhi police against Sukesh and others for alleged criminal conspiracy, cheating and extortion. During the search of his luxurious beachfront bungalow in Chennai on August 23, the ED seized 82.5 lakhs (in cash), 2 kg of gold, and 16 luxury cars and other high-end items in this case.
