Jacqueline Fernandez has been charged with extortion for INR 200 crore.

According to the Indian Enforcement Directorate, actor Jacqueline Fernandez was allegedly involved in a money laundering case worth INR 200 crore.

The federal investigation agency had already attached funds totaling INR 7.27 crore under the PMLA against the actor in April, in addition to INR 15 lakh in cash, referring to these funds as ‘proceeds of crime.’

“Sukesh Chandrasekhar “had given various gifts to Jacqueline Fernandez worth INR 5.71 crore from the proceeds of crime generated by criminal activities including extortion,” the ED said in a statement at the time.

“Chandrasekhar had assigned Pinky Irani, his long-time associate and co-accused in this case, to deliver the aforementioned gifts to her.”

“Aside from these gifts, Chandrasekhar also gave “funds to the tune of USD 1,72,913 (approx. INR 1.3 crore as per current exchange rate) and AUD 26740 (approx. INR 14 lakh) to Fernandez’s close family members out of the proceeds of crime through co-accused Avtar Singh Kochhar, an established and well known international hawala operator,” they added.

Jacqueline had previously been questioned several times by the federal agency regarding this case, the most recent summons being in June.
