ED Attaches Rs 3,034 Crore Assets in Reliance Anil Ambani Group Money Laundering Probe

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached assets worth approximately Rs 3,034 crore linked to Reliance Communications (RCOM) and Reliance Infrastructure Ltd. as part of its ongoing money laundering and bank fraud investigation against the Reliance Anil Ambani Group (RAAG). These assets include a Mumbai flat, a farmhouse in Khandala, land parcels in Sanand, and shares of Reliance Infrastructure. Total attached assets in the probe now exceed Rs 19,344 crore. The investigation follows multiple FIRs by the CBI based on complaints from public sector banks over alleged diversion and laundering of funds. The Supreme Court has directed a Special Investigation Team to oversee the probe, while the CBI has also registered cases and made arrests related to the matter. Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Power have stated that the probe concerns legacy entities undergoing insolvency proceedings.
