M3M directors, including Roop Bansal, had filed a petition in the Delhi High Court following the searches to quash the ED case and summons issued to them, saying they have not indulged in any wrongdoing

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested a director of Gurugram-based realty company M3M in a money laundering investigation, official sources said Friday.
Roop Kumar Bansal was taken into custody under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) on Thursday, they said.
On June 1, the federal probe agency carried out raids against the M3M group and its directors as well as against IREO, another real estate group, in Delhi and Gurugram.
It later alleged in a press statement that the owners, controllers and promoters of the M3M Group -- Basant Bansal, Roop Kumar Bansal, Pankaj Bansal and other key persons -- deliberately avoided investigations during the raids.
M3M directors, including Bansal, had filed a petition in the Delhi High Court following the searches to quash the ED case and summons issued to them, saying they have not indulged in any wrongdoing, sources indicated.
The agency on Monday said it seized luxury cars, including a Ferrari, Lamborghini and Bentley, worth Rs 60 crore as well as jewellery valued at Rs 5.75 crore during the raids on the two groups.
The agency has been investigating the IREO group for the last few years on charges of diverting, siphoning and misappropriating funds of investors and customers. It was later found that "huge amounts of money running into hundreds of crores were siphoned off through the M3M Group too".
"In one of the transactions, M3M group received about Rs 400 crore from IREO Group through several shell companies in multiple layers. The transactions were shown in the books of IREO as payments towards development rights.
"The land was owned by M3M group and the market value of the land was around Rs 4 crore," the ED alleged.

<h2>Byju's likely to layoff 1,000 more employees across several verticals including product, content, technology and media teams.</h2>

Byjus Layoffs 2023: Amid the hovering debt woes and legal tussle in the U.S, edtech startup Byju's is expected to cut 1,000 more employees reported The Morning Context.
As per the report, the employees who would be affected are contractual staff on ground sales team. These employees are hired from third-party staffers such as Randstad and Channelplay.
As per The Economic Times, this new round of layoff is in an effort to cut cost. The edtech company hires or let go of contractual employees based on the seasonality and demand of the business.&nbsp;
&ldquo;It is no surprise that Byju&rsquo;s is looking to cut costs now, especially when growth has completely stalled, and the focus for them is on building a hybrid play with (test-prep subsidiary) Aakash.
It seems like a hybrid strategy is one of the last straws left for online edtech as it gets harder to sell online courses,&rdquo; said a person who spoke to ET.
This cost cutting measures come after Byju's skipped paying the quaterly interest of about $40 million earlier this week on a $1.2 billion term loan. This loan is now under litigation.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Earlier this year, the company had laid off 900 to 1000 employees across several verticals including product, content, technology and media teams.
Byju's had reportedly sacked many top executives including senior vice-presidents who were taking salaries of Rs 1 crore and above, per annum.

Zomato receives backlash

US charges Sam Bankman-Fried for bribing Chinese officials

Bankman-Fried has been charged with wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering as well as election finance violations

US officials alleged that former FTX chief Sam Bankman-Fried authorized bribes of at least $40 million to Chinese officials, according to an updated indictment filed Tuesday.
The payments came after Chinese officials in early 2021 froze some $1 billion in cryptocurrency trading accounts controlled by FTX affiliate Alameda, according to an amended criminal indictment signed by US Attorney Damian Williams.
The move amounts to a 13th criminal charge against the former cryptocurrency highflyer, for 'conspiracy to violate the anti-bribery provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.'
Bankman-Fried has also been charged with wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering as well as election finance violations.

Invest Smart: Why you need long-term investments in Mutual Funds

In this episode of Invest Smart, Editorji's Avni Raja speaks to Pankaj Mathpal, Founder &amp; CEO, Optima Money Managers about why you need long-term investments and the importance of remaining invested in equity mutual funds for the long-term

Latest data by capital markets regulator SEBI shows that in the last financial year, half of investments made in mutual funds got redeemed within a year. Not just that, 73% of mutual fund units were redeemed with just 2 years of investments. And only 3% of the investments continued for more than 5 years.&nbsp; Now, this is quite concerning. Because investing for the long term, is the bedrock of wealth creation. Its only after the initial few years that you actually see the benefits of the power of compounding. For equity mutual funds experts say a minimum of 5 years is a must.&nbsp; Chasing past returns can often lead to disappointment and investors exiting their equity mutual funds too soon. Instead financial planning and investing based on your financial goals and risk appetite will ensure you invest in the right instruments and remain invested for the long term, says Pankaj Mathpal, CEO, Optima Money Managers.&nbsp; It is also important to ensure that your investment beat inflation in the long term. For this, long-term equity investments is a must, says Mathpal.&nbsp;

The worse-than-expected figures come as inflation and higher interest rates have curbed demand in Europe's largest economy

Eurozone entered a recession at the beginning of 2023 

The worse-than-expected figures come as inflation and higher interest rates have curbed demand in Europe's largest economy

The eurozone entered into a technical recession at the start of the year, shrinking by 0.1 percent for a second consecutive quarter, figures from the EU's statistic agency showed Thursday.
Eurostat revised down an earlier forecast that had predicted slight growth after economic powerhouse Germany said last month it had fallen into recession.
The worse-than-expected figures come as inflation and higher interest rates have curbed demand in Europe's largest economy.
Eurostat cut its earlier estimate of 0 per cent growth in the final quarter of 2022 and 0.1 percent growth in the first quarter of 2023 to 0.1 percent contractions in both periods.
Two consecutive quarters of shrinking gross domestic product is the threshold for a technical recession.
The bad news comes after a painful year for European economies as surging energy prices sparked by Russia's war on Ukraine sent inflation spiralling.
The European Central Bank has responded by hiking its key rates by 3.75 percentage points since embarking on an unprecedented campaign of monetary tightening in July last year.
The latest figures cast doubt over more optimistic predictions for the whole of 2023.
The European Commission forecast in mid-May that growth for the year would reach 1.1 percent across the 20 countries that use the single currency.
