The Enforcement Directorate (ED) said here on Friday that it has provisionally attached the immovable and movable properties worth Rs 224.6 crore pertaining to the Siva Group and Axcel Sunshine Ltd of BV Islands in a bank fraud case.
The attachment of assets has been done under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the ED said.

Investigations by ED under PMLA revealed that the Siva Group negotiated, applied and obtained the loan in the name of front company Axcel Sunshine to adjust against their earlier and other loans.
According to the ED, the immovable properties attached include vacant land, office premises here and movable properties including mutual fund investments and balance amounts available in their bank accounts.
