Dino Morea Questioned by ED in Mithi River Desilting Scam
Bollywood actor Dino Morea and his brother are being questioned by financial investigators about a money laundering case linked to the Mithi River.
Investigators are looking into their connection with a middleman named Ketan Kadam and certain financial transactions.
Dino's brother co-founded a company with the middleman's wife, which also received an investment.
The main concern is whether money from a large scam, which involved rigged contracts and inflated bills related to cleaning the river, was used to fund these activities.
The investigation follows raids on their homes and offices.
Actor Dino Morea and brother Santino questioned by ED in the Mithi River desilting scam.
The ED is investigating alleged links between Dino Morea and Ketan Kadam, a key intermediary.
Financial transactions of around Rs 18 lakh between the Morea brothers and Kadam are under scrutiny.
