Actress Jacqueline Fernandez’s troubles in the money laundering case are not ending. Her troubles are increasing once again and once again the actress has come into the headlines. Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez filed a plea seeking the quashing of the ECIR (FIR) and supplementary chargesheet filed by the Enforcement Directorate in the ₹200 crore money laundering case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. The Enforcement Directorate denied the plea, stating that it was not maintainable.
Jacqueline’s involvement in the money laundering case
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) clarified in its response that the investigation it is conducting by the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) 2002 is not the same as the police investigation, which is focused on the commission of scheduled offences. Because money laundering is a different kind of crime, the accused in this case will almost certainly be additional to, or different from, the accused in the predicate offence.
Plea argued that the petitioner’s selection as a witness for the predicate offence by the predicate agency does not automatically imply that she has not also committed the separate and distinct offence of money laundering. The Delhi High Court requested that ED submit a response to Jacqueline Fernandez’s petition recently. Earlier, the ED had contested Jacqueline’s plea, arguing that despite being aware of Sukesh’s criminal past, she continued to appreciate his gifts.
More about Sukesh
Attorneys Prashant Patil and Senior Advocate Siddharth Aggarwal represented Jacqueline, arguing that it is problematic to be in the public eye and be associated with money laundering. I hope that the complaint won’t be entirely dismissed because it only pertains to the current applicant, Jacqueline.
