The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday attached assets worth Rs 11.14 crore belonging to former Indian cricketers Suresh Raina and Shikhar Dhawan as part of a money-laundering investigation linked to an alleged illegal online betting platform, PTI reported citing official sources.A provisional order under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) has been issued to attach an immovable property of Dhawan valued at Rs 4.5 crore and a mutual fund belonging to Raina worth Rs 6.64 crore in connection with the case against the betting site 1xBet, the sources added.The federal probe has reportedly found that both cricketers "knowingly" entered into endorsement agreements with foreign entities to promote 1xBet and its associated platforms.As part of the ongoing investigation, the ED has also questioned several other personalities, including former cricketers Yuvraj Singh and Robin Uthappa, actors Sonu Sood, Urvashi Rautela, Mimi Chakraborty (a former Trinamool Congress MP), and Bengali actor Ankush Hazra.Registered in Curacao, 1xBet claims to be a globally recognised bookmaker with 18 years of experience in the betting industry.Live EventsAdd as a Reliable and Trusted News Source Add Now!
