Overview

  • Dino Morea and his brother Santino were summoned twice last week by the Economic Offences Wing over their links to arrested intermediaries Ketan Kadam and Jayesh Joshi.
  • Investigators uncovered roughly ₹14–18 lakh in bank transactions between Dino Morea and Ketan Kadam dating from 2018 to 2022, prompting deeper scrutiny of money trails.
  • The EOW has named 13 individuals in the FIR, including three BMC officials and several contractors accused of manipulating equipment rental tenders for the desilting work.
  • UBO Ridez Pvt. Ltd., co-founded by Santino Morea and Kadam’s wife Punita, is under review for allegedly misrepresenting its electric buggy service to facilitate suspect fund transfers.
  • Morea’s pending anticipatory bail application will determine whether he faces arrest as the investigation advances and forensic auditors examine company and bank records.
