In a major crackdown against an international drug trafficking and money laundering network, the ED raided the premises of Salim Ismail Dola and his associates. The raids took place at several locations in Mumbai and Gujarat.
According to ED, this raid is being conducted in the money laundering network case against smuggler Mohammad Salim Dola, who was brought back to India from Turkey.
According to the investigating agencies, Salim Dola, who was recently brought to India from Turkey, was also associated with the network of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and he was active in the drug trade at the international level for a long time.
Those on the ED’s radar include suppliers of chemicals used in making drugs, middlemen involved in the trade, manufacturers and smugglers of synthetic drug mephedrone (MD), hawala operators and people associated with benami properties purchased with drug money.
