ED attaches Dubai assets of Mirchi’s family

New Delhi, September 22

The Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday said it has attached Dubai-based assets worth over Rs 203 crore of late gangster Iqbal Mirchi’s family in connection with a money laundering case.

It has issued a provisional attachment order under the Prevention of Money laundering Act (PMLA) to seize 15 properties belonging to his family members in Dubai.

The attached assets include 15 commercial and residential properties belonging to the “family members” of Mirchi. They include a hotel called Midwest Hotel Apartment, the ED said.

Officials said these assets were transferred to the Mirchi family by a Dubai-based company owned by the Wadhawan brothers, Kapil Wadhawan and Dheeraj Wadhawan. — TNS
