Actor Dino Morea and his brother, Santino, were quizzed for eight hours on May 26 by the Bombay police’s Economic Offences Wing in connection with the alleged Rs. 66 crore Mithi river desilting scam. The police said, Santino is a director in UBO Ridez company which has its address at Worli in Bombay, from where another company, Vodar India LLP, functions. Vodar India is under probe in the scam.
An EOW officer said, they were checking if there were dealings between the Moreas and one of the two arrested in the case, viz. Ketan Kadam and Jayesh Joshi. An officer added, “We suspect, Dino influenced contracts in BMC, including the desilting deal.”
