Indian investigators have seized a US$410 million luxury condominium building owned by Anil Ambani as part of an ongoing probe into alleged bank fraud. The Enforcement Directorate, India’s anti-money-laundering agency, seized the 17-story property in Mumbai, alleging Ambani defaulted on over US$4.4 billion in loans from Indian and foreign banks. Ambani, who runs Reliance Group and is the brother of Asia's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, has faced financial difficulties since 2016. Investigators believe the property was transferred into a private family trust to shield it from Ambani's liabilities related to loan guarantees. His name also recently surfaced in documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.
