ED Summons Google and Meta in Probe into Illegal Betting Apps

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned representatives from Google and Meta to appear on July 21 as part of its money laundering investigation into illegal betting applications. The agency is examining the role of the tech giants' platforms in promoting these apps through advertising. The move follows recent raids in a major 'dabba trading' and online betting case, where the ED seized significant amounts of cash and assets while investigating several illicit platforms.
