ED attaches properties worth Rs 1.06 crore under PMLA in Meghalaya

SHILLONG: (May 9) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached properties valued at Rs 1.06 crore under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in a case linked to "Global Media App", an alleged fraudulent online earning platform that generated proceeds of crime worth over Rs 45 crore, officials said on Saturday.

The attachment was carried out by the ED's Shillong Sub-Zonal Office under provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, in connection with an ongoing investigation into a large-scale cheating case involving investors lured through a fake online earning and investment scheme.

The probe was initiated on the basis of an FIR registered by Madanriting Police Station in Meghalaya's East Khasi Hills district following allegations of cheating through the "Global Media App".
