Bollywood actor Dino Morea appears before ED in connection with Rs 65 crore Mithi river desilting scam.
Bollywood actor Dino Morea appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) here on Thursday (June 19, 2025) to record his statement in connection with a money laundering probe linked to an alleged ₹65 crore Mithi river desilting scam, officials said.
Morea reached the ED office situated at Ballard Estate in south Mumbai at around 10:30 a.m. after being summoned by the federal agency, an official said.
The actor's statement will be recorded as some financial transactions have been found allegedly linked to him and some accused persons, arrested earlier by the Mumbai Police's Economic Offences Wing in connection with the Mithi river desilting scam, the official said.
A large number of media persons were present outside the probe agency's office.
Earlier on June 12, Mr. Morea was questioned by the ED officials for several hours.
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.
