The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has revealed thꦯat actress Jacqueline Fernandez was well aware of conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar’s criminal history. As per a report on NDTV, the ED has said in its charge sheet that Fernandez ‘cooked up a false story’ in order to wriggle out of the investigations. This is in context to Chandrashekhar’s multi-crore money laundering case.
However, Fern🅺andez has claimed from the very start that she never knꦉew of Sukesh Chandrashekhar's cases.
"Jacqueline Fer💯nandez was well aware about the criminal antecedents of Sukesh Chandrashekhar and also the fact that Leena Maria Paul is his wife in February 2021,🔥" the charge sheet says as per the NDTV report. "She consciously chose to overlook his criminal past and continued to indulge in financial transactions with him," it says.
Who Informed Jacqueline Fernandez
Fernandez’s stylish Shaan was the person who informed her of 🍰Chandraꦯshekhar’s criminal history in February 2021.
"Despite this, Jacqueline Fernandez ignored thi🐓s fact and continued the relationship with Sukesh and also received, used and enjoyed the financial benefits from Sukesh, which are nothing but proceeds of crime," the agency says.
What All Did Sukesh Chandrashekhar Gift Jacqueline Fernandez
The ED has named Jacqueline Fernandez as an accused in the money laundering case. In turn, Fernandez admitted to having received five watches, 20 pieces of jewellery, 65 pairs of shoes, 47 dresses, 32 bags, 4 Hermes bags, nine paintings and one Versace crockery set as g💯ifts from the conman, according to the charge sheet.
Furthermore, the NDTV reports said that Chandrashekhar gi𒐪f💯ted two cars to Fernandez’s parents in April 2021, which she did not disclose during her questioning. Only when the ED confronted Fernandez with evidence that’s when she admitted that Chandrashekhar had even bought her a property at Welgana in Sri Lanka.
"Despite being fully aware of his criminal history and that he is lodged in Ti♚har Jail, Jacqueline Fernandez was knowingly a party or actually involved in the process (money laundering) by using or enjoying the proceeds of crime by the way of valuable gifts," the agency said as per the NDTV report.
What Are The Allegations Against Jacqueline Fernandez
It has been alleged that Fernandez also requested her staff to dele𝓀te data on thei✅r phone related to the conman.
The ED also alleged that Fernandez tried to cover up by repeatedly saying that she wasn’t a part of the conspiracy but was rather a victim herself. "However, during investigation she h🧜as failed to provide any substantial material to establish the victimisation by Sukesh," the charge sheet says.
She wiped her ph𝐆one clean, deleting crucial evidence and this counted as tampering with evidence, says the agency.
How Much Money Does The Chargesheet Quote Against Jacqueline Fernandez
As per the NDTV report, the charge sheet from ED said Chandrashekhar gave ₹ 7.12 cr🏅ore to the actor - ₹ 1.26 crore to her sister in the US, ₹ 15 lakh to her b𝐆rother in Australia and gifts worth ₹ 5.71 crores.
"The lure of money ensured that the criminal history of the person Jacqueline Fernandez was engaging with did not matter," th🌌e Enforcement Directorate said in its charge sheet.
What Has Jacqueline Fernandez Admitted To
The NDTV report further states that Fernandez had admitted to receiving from💖 Chandrashekar four bags from Gucci, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, three shoes from Louis Vuitton and Louboutin, two outfits from Gucci, perfumes, four cat𝄹s, a Mini Cooper, two diamond earrings and a multi-coloured diamond bracelet.

As per reports, Chandrashekhar was arrested by the Delhi Police in the context of allegedly extorting ar🔯ound ₹ 215 crores from Aditi Singh and Shivender Singh, who were the former promoters of pharmaceutic🌌al giant Ranbaxy.
