New Delhi, Aug 18: Jacqueline Fernandez’s lawyer said that the actor is a victim of conspiracy. The statement came day after the actor was charged with money laundering.
“She has always cooperated with the investigation agencies and attended all the summons issued till date,” said the lawyer.
“She has handed over all the information to the best of her ability to the ED. The agencies have failed to appreciate that she was cheated and conned into this matter. She is a victim of larger criminal conspiracy,” he added.
The Enforcement Directorate, which is looking into a money trail in the Chandrashekar-related extortion case, has named the actor in a supplementary chargesheet that was submitted to a Delhi court.
The ED had already interrogated her and attached the actor’s property. In accordance with the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, the bureau temporarily attached the actor’s assets totaling 7 crore in April (PMLA).
The Delhi Police detained Chandrashekar on suspicion of extorting 215 crore from Aditi Singh and Shivinder Singh, the former promoters of pharmaceutical behemoth Ranbaxy.
