ED issues fresh summons to Google and Meta in betting app case after tech giants fail to appear

Senior executives from technology giants Meta and Google have been issued fresh summons by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) after failing to appear before the agency on Monday in connection with a money laundering case linked to illegal online betting and gambling platforms.

According to official sources, the representatives from the two firms requested a deferment of their scheduled appearance on 21 July, citing the need for additional time to gather pertinent documents and information, reported PTI. In response, the ED granted them a one-week extension and directed them to appear on 28 July for questioning.
