ED summons Google & Meta officials for questioning under PMLA Act

New Delhi, July 19 (UNI) The ED or Enforcement Directorate issued a legal notice to tech giants Meta and Google in an illegal betting app probe.
ED summoned representatives from both companies to appear at its Delhi headquarters on July 21 2025. The Enforcement Directorate is a law enforcement agency of the Government of India. It is a watchdog of economic laws and combat financial crimes.
The Enforcement Directorate alleged that both Google and Meta platforms played an important role in promoting the betting apps, which are under observation for financial crimes.
The Enforcement Directorate is going to question these two tech giants due to the accusation of hawala transactions and violations of the PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering) Act. The PMLA Act is enacted by the Indian Government for preventing money laundering activities.
Some apps, including Junglee Rummy, A23, JeetWin, Parimatch, and Lotus365, are already under the scrutiny of the ED. The summon orders for Google and Meta make another mark in the agency’s observation on digital platforms.
