Overview

• The Enforcement Directorate is preparing provisional attachment orders under the PMLA to seize movable and immovable properties, with quantification and valuation underway, according to officials.
• Investigators have identified some assets abroad, including in the UAE, echoing recent cross‑border action in the Fairplay case where ED attached Rs 307.16 crore in Dubai.
• Statements under Section 50 have been recorded from former cricketers Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Robin Uthappa and Shikhar Dhawan, and from actors Sonu Sood, Mimi Chakraborty and Ankush Hazra.
• Officials say some endorsers used fees from 1xBet to buy assets classified as proceeds of crime, and the agency has sought contracts, bank statements and correspondence to trace payment routes.
• After issuing the attachment orders, ED will seek confirmation from the PMLA Adjudicating Authority, with a chargesheet expected to follow that could name certain celebrities as accused, sources said.
