The film 'Housefull-5' has been released in theatres today. On the same day, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has raided the Bandra bungalow of the film's hero Dino Morea. This raid has been done in connection with the alleged Rs 65 crore scam of removing silt from Mithi river in Mumbai. Along with Mario's house, ED has raided more than 15 places in Mumbai and Kerala.
Dino Morea was questioned twice by the EOW before. ED is now reviewing the financial documents and other materials seized during the raid to trace the flow of illegal money. The searches are part of a money laundering investigation under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) following a case registered by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai Police.
The EOW had earlier booked 13 persons, including BMC officials and contractors, for their alleged involvement in fraudulent payments for river cleaning work, which was never done between 2007 and 2021. The ED suspects that tenders for hiring special dredging equipment were manipulated to benefit select suppliers, resulting in huge losses to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
