Online Betting Money Laundering Case: ED Summons Yuvraj Singh, Sonu Sood

Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh and Bollywood actor Sonu Sood have been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering investigation linked to an illegal online betting app. Earlier, cricketers Suresh Raina and Shikhar Dhawan were also questioned in the case.

According to PTI sources, the ED issued a summons on Thursday, asking Yuvraj Singh to appear before the agency on September 23 for questioning.

The agency suspects that illegal betting apps duped people and investors of crores of rupees while evading substantial taxes. Financial transactions through these platforms were allegedly in violation of anti-money laundering laws.

Apps such as 1xBet, which has been operating for the last 18 years, reportedly allow customers to place bets on thousands of sporting events. Its website and mobile application are available in more than 70 languages, according to the company.
