Real Estate Giants and Directors Hit with Money Laundering Charges

The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) has filed a prosecution complaint against real estate companies Premia Projects Ltd and Solitaire Infomedia Pvt Ltd, along with their directors, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), in connection with alleged fraud against homebuyers.

The directors named in the complaint are Tarun Shienh (Chairman and Managing Director of Premia Group), Rekha Shienh, Luxmy Rajput, and Charanjeet Singh Dani. The case has been filed in the Special Court, PMLA, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.

The ED investigation stems from multiple FIRs registered by the Uttar Pradesh Police and Economic Offence Wing, Delhi, against the aforementioned individuals on charges of fraud under the Indian Penal Code and Gangster Act, based on complaints filed by homebuyers.

During its investigation, the ED provisionally attached movable and immovable assets worth Rs. 24.17 crore, suspected to be proceeds of crime. This attachment order was subsequently confirmed by the adjudicating authority under the PMLA in New Delhi.

The prosecution complaint marks a significant escalation in the case against the Premia Group and its directors. If convicted under the PMLA, they could face imprisonment and confiscation of assets involved in the alleged money laundering scheme.

Homebuyers: This development offers a ray of hope for aggrieved homebuyers who have been waiting for justice. The court proceedings will determine the culpability of the accused and, if found guilty, could lead to compensation for the affected individuals.
