Tamil Nadu: ED raids in sand mining case, premises of lottery king Santiago Martin's son-in-law searched
ED Action in Tamil Nadu: Officials said that around 10 premises are being searched in the alleged illegal sand mining case and the ED is investigating it under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday conducted raids in the state in connection with a money laundering probe into alleged illegal sand mining in Tamil Nadu. Sources said that searches are being conducted at some premises of Aadhav Arjun, son-in-law of lottery king Santiago Martin, in Chennai and Coimbatore.
According to officials, the ED is looking into the alleged illegal sand mining case and has searched about ten locations as part of its investigation under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The CBI case against Martin and others for alleged crimes about the sale of Sikkim government lotteries prompted the ED to look into another money laundering case against Martin. The Sikkim Lottery's master distributors are reportedly Martin, aka the Lottery King, and his business Future Gaming Solutions India Private Limited.
