ED Arrests WinZO Directors in ₹505-Crore Money-Laundering Probe
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested two directors of the online gaming platform WinZO in connection with an alleged ₹505-crore money-laundering case. The arrests, made in Bengaluru on November 28, 2025, follow extensive raids and investigations into the company’s financial transactions and its suspected role in routing illegal funds through gaming activities.
According to ED officials, the probe revealed irregularities in the platform’s payment structures, including the alleged use of shell entities and fraudulent accounts to move large sums of money. The agency claims that these operations facilitated laundering of proceeds generated from illicit sources under the guise of gaming revenue.
The directors were taken into custody after they reportedly failed to provide satisfactory explanations for the discrepancies detected during the investigation. They are expected to be produced before a special PMLA court. The ED is continuing its inquiry to trace the full money trail and identify additional individuals or entities involved.
