The Enforcement Directorate of India has charged actor Jacqueline Fernandez in a money-laundering case against alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar. The Enforcement Directorate alleges that Chandrashekhar used the money gained by cheating and extorting high-profile individuals to buy gifts worth Rs 57.1 million for Fernandez. The directorate said Chandrashekhar had put Pinky Irani, his long-time associate and co-accused in this case to deliver the said gifts to her. The investigating agency also claimed that Fernandez was aware that the gifts given to her were the proceeds of a crime. In April, the agency had attached assets worth Rs 72.7 million belonging to the actor.
