Its owner is accused of committing cheating and forgery in the Netherlands
The Enforcement Directorate has attached a resort worth ₹32.57 crore, located on National Highway-1 in Punjab's Phagwara, in connection with a money laundering case registered on the request of the Netherlands Government.
The Cabbana Resort & Spa belongs to Shivlal Pabbi and his associates. He is accused of committing cheating and forgery in the Netherlands in connivance with his Indian associates.
Shivlal Pabbi allegedly ran a “hawala” network, an underground banking system, in the Netherlands. The proceeds of the alleged crime were laundered through Dubai-based Pakistani nationals, who transferred the funds to him and his family members’ Non-Resident External accounts in Phagwara.
