“Jacqueline Not Linked to Sukesh’s Crimes: Lawyer”
Jacqueline Fernandez’s lawyers told the Delhi High Court she can’t be prosecuted for money laundering, as she had no involvement or knowledge of Sukesh Chandrashekhar’s criminal activities. They argued that she was unaware the gifts she received were from proceeds of a ₹200 crore extortion case involving Aditi Singh.
The lawyers said:
- Jacqueline didn’t benefit from any criminal activity.
- She is a witness in the extortion case, not part of Sukesh’s syndicate.
- Two cases can’t be based on the same facts.
The court will hear the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on December 3.
