Bollywood actor Dino Morea on Thursday appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) here in connection with a money laundering probe linked to an alleged Rs 65 crore Mithi river desilting scam, officials said.
Morea, who had been summoned by the ED for questioning, reached the federal agency’s office at Ballard Estate in south Mumbai at around 10.30 am, an official said.
The ED on June 6 conducted searches at more than 15 locations in Mumbai, and Kochi in Kerala, including the premises of Dino Morea in Bandra (West) area here, those linked to his brother Santino, some Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials, and contractors among others, official sources earlier said.
The searches were conducted in Kochi as one of the companies that provided desilting equipment to the BMC — Matprop Technical Services Pvt Ltd — is based in this city, they said
