Mumbai: Actor Dino Morea appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday after being summoned again in connection with the Rs 65-crore Mithi River desilting scam.
In a video shared by ANI on X, the actor was seen arriving at the ED office in Mumbai.
However, he avoided the paparazzi and went inside the ED office.
The ED earlier this month conducted a nearly 14-hour search at the actor’s Bandra residence, and 14 other locations across Mumbai and Kochi, including the homes of the actor’s brother, contractors and middlemen.
The investigation is being carried out under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The actor was earlier interrogated by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police in connection with the scam after investigators found several phone calls between him, his brother Santino Morea, and key accused Ketan Kadam.
During the investigation, EOW found that ₹18 lakh was transferred to Santino Morea’s company, UBO Ridez by Ketan Kadam, one of the prime accused in the case.
“We are investigating the reason for the transfer of funds from Ketan Kadam’s account to UBO Ridez,” an officer from the EOW told TOI.
The Mithi River desilting scam involves alleged financial misconduct in renting silt pusher machines and dredging equipment by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
