ED Probes Google, Meta in Online Betting Money Laundering

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is looking into whether some online betting and gambling sites are doing illegal things like money laundering.

Google officials were questioned by the ED about their connection to these sites.

Google says it is working hard to remove illegal gambling ads.

The ED is trying to understand how these sites advertise and make money, as well as if money laundering or tax evasion is involved.

Meta, another tech company, was also asked to provide information but did not appear.

The ED is looking into many cases related to illegal gambling, including one involving the Mahadev Online Book app.
