Mumbai, June 24 (Reporter) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday froze assets worth Rs 37 crore and seized incriminating documents and digital devices during searches at multiple locations in Mumbai as part of ongoing investigations into the Amber Dalal case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002. Dalal, who was arrested in March, allegedly duped investors, including those in the US and UAE, of crores of rupees by promising high returns by investing their money in trading risk-free commodities. The ED on Monday searched Dalal's Oshiwara residence and other properties linked to his associates and froze movable assets, including cash, bank funds, and Demat account holdings, totalling Rs 37 crore, an official said here. The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai police had last week filed a 44,000-page chargesheet against Dalal before a Special Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (MPID) court. On the same day, the ED had launched its search operations in the matter and the exercise continued on Monday. The ED investigation revealed that Amber Dalal convinced investors he was investing their funds in nine commodities (gold, silver, crude oil, natural gas, zinc, lead, nickel, copper, aluminium) and trading in them, ensuring the capital was safe while promising annual returns of 18%-22%. Using the same modus operandi, he also raised money from investors in the UAE and USA. Dalal allegedly duped investors by claiming to invest their money in trading risk-free commodities. After 2016, he started accepting only investments above Rs 10 lakh. Until February this year, he paid investors regular interest. After defaulting on payments between March 10-13, the 59-year-old Oshiwara resident went into hiding on March 14. After evading the police for 12 days, he was finally arrested on March 26 from a hotel in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand...////...
