A Delhi Court has framed charges against Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez and others in a money laundering case linked to conman Sukesh Chandrasekhar.
The court noted that there is prima facie sufficient material to indicate that Jacqueline Fernandez received luxurious gifts from Sukesh Chandrasekhar despite being aware of his criminal activities.
The court stated that Jacqueline was in connivance with Sukesh to conceal the use of proceeds of crime and that she received gifts worth ₹5.71 crore from Sukesh Chandrasekhar, knowing of his criminal past.
It is also alleged that she received $172K (over ₹1.4 crore) into the foreign bank account of her sister, Geraldine J Walker, and Australian $26K (over ₹10 lakh) into the foreign bank account of her brother, Warren J Fernandez.
The court observed that Jacqueline Fernandez was fully aware of Sukesh's criminal activities and that she received proceeds of crime in the form of luxurious gifts, payments to her brother, and a car gifted to her parents.
