What is the Money Laundering and Cheating Case?
International Amusement Limited, the holding company of IRAL, is accused of collecting over ₹400 crore from around 1,500 investors, promising to allocate shops and other spaces in Sector 29 and 52-A in Gurugram, according to the Enforcement Directorate.
However, the company allegedly failed to deliver the projects and missed deadlines. It also stopped making the assured monthly return payments to the investors.
The ED claimed the company siphoned off the investors’ money and funneled the funds to associated individuals and entities for personal gains.
Additionally, the ED alleged that the promoter directors executed back-dated agreements with a buying entity to remove the business advance from IRAL’s balance sheet, allowing the departing directors to evade their responsibilities towards IRAL.
