Betting App cases, ED calls Google and Meta for questioning on July 21

Taking on tech giants for allegedly promoting online betting Apps which are under probe for serious financial crimes, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Saturday sent notices to tech giants Google and Meta, summoning them for questioning on July 21.

The notices were sent in connection with an ED investigation into online betting App cases, currently under



investigation for financial crimes, including money laundering and hawala transactions.

The regulator alleged that these tech platforms provided prominent advertising slots and allowed websites linked to these online betting platforms to gain visibility on their respective platforms, thereby contributing to the widespread reach of these illicit operations.
