“We have not seen Rs 50 lakh in cash in our entire life but Jacqueline frittered away Rs 7.14 crore for fun. She has tried every trick in the book to try and escape because she has enough money,” stated the ED. After that, the court asked the ED why they have not arrested her yet.
The actress’s lawyer once said that Jacqueline has always cooperated with the investigation agencies. She attended summons issued to date. She has handed over the information to the ED. The lawyer said, “She is a victim of a larger criminal conspiracy.”
