The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has commenced the process to attach immovable assets associated with Iqbal Mirchi, a deceased narcotics trafficker, located in Worli, Mumbai, and Dubai. This move comes after a special court authorized the action under the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act (FEOA), allowing for the confiscation of assets before trial completion. The Worli properties include land parcels on Dr Annie Besant Road, where three buildings—Sea View, Marium Lodge, and Rabia Mansion—were previously situated. Mirchi allegedly acquired these properties in 1986 for ₹6.5 lakh (approximately $7,800 USD) through his partnership firm, Rockside Enterprises, and they were transferred to him in 1991. The ED had previously attached these assets in 2019 under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), which requires trial completion for confiscation. In contrast, the FEOA allows for earlier action. The Dubai assets include Hotel Midwest Apartment and 14 real estate units, held in the names of Mirchi's wife, Hajra Memon, and sons, Asif and Junaid, who are also accused in the case and have been declared fugitive economic offenders. The investigation into Mirchi's money laundering activities began in September 2019, focusing on the sale of the Worli properties for ₹225 crore (approximately $27 million USD) to Sunblink Real Estate Pvt Ltd in 2010, with proceeds allegedly used to acquire assets in Dubai.
