Businessman Raj Kundra and his actress wife Shilpa Shetty found themselves at the centre of the controversy once again, this time for their alleged involvement in a Rs 6600 crore Bitcoin Ponzi scam.
On Thursday afternoon, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a statement announced that they have attached a bungalow and a flat, apart from equity shares, worth about Rs 97.79 crore of Kundra and Shetty in connection with a money-laundering case linked to the alleged crypto assets Ponzi scheme.
The federal agency has issued a provisional order under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to attach the properties of the couple following investigations into a case pertaining to the alleged duping of investors through the use of cryptocurrency.
