Jacqueline Fernandez was named as an accused in a supplementary chargesheet filed in Delhi court by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), in a Rs. 200 crores money laundering case involving conman Sukesh Chandrasekar in a Delhi Court.

In her recent reply to the authorities who have attached several of her Fixed Deposits (FDs), she said that her FDs have no connection to alleged conman Sukesh Chandrasekar and were created even before he “existed. ” In a reply to adjudicating authorities of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the actress stated that the “FDs attached vide the impugned order, had no nexus with a crime nor were the Fixed Deposits created by using the alleged proceeds of crime.”

Jacqueline also added that in the present case, at best, the allegation against her is that she is the “recipient of the gifts.”

The ED in April provisionally attached assets worth Rs. 7.27 crores of the actress under the PMLA apart from Rs. 15 lakhs cash, calling the funds as “proceeds of crime.”
