Jacqueline Fernandez claims innocence in face of money laundering allegations

Jacqueline Fernandez finds herself entangled in the legal web surrounding Sukesh Chandrasekhar, the prime accused in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case. Jacqueline's lawyer filed a plea in the Delhi High Court seeking the dismissal of all charges against the actress. 

Jacqueline was allegedly in a relationship with Sukesh before his apprehension by the Enforcement Directorate. Her legal defense argues that Jacqueline is an innocent victim of a "maliciously targeted attack" orchestrated by Sukesh Chandrasekhar.

The lawyer maintains that there is no evidence suggesting her involvement in Sukesh's alleged money laundering activities. The petition asserts that Jacqueline cannot be prosecuted under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, emphasizing her lack of complicity in Sukesh's purportedly "ill-gotten wealth."

Authorities have charged Jacqueline with being aware of Sukesh's illicit actions and benefiting from gifts purchased with extorted funds. Despite intimate photos surfacing online post-Sukesh's arrest, Jacqueline continues to deny any connection to the extortion case, asserting that she was deceived and trapped by Sukesh.
