PANAJI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has provisionally attached 15 properties across Bardez taluka in connection with a multi-crore land scam under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
According to officials, the scam involved forged wills, fabricated genealogies, and tampered inventory records to create false heirs and transfer ownership of prime land “on paper” to outsiders and influential interests.
The attached properties are located in Revora, Anjuna, Mapusa, Nadora, Camurlim, and Parra, with an estimated value running into several crores. Investigators have termed the operation as a systematic case of “land laundering,” where Goa’s high-value coastal land was exploited for channeling black money through illegitimate documentation.
The ED has called on genuine claimants to submit proof of ownership within 15 days at its Panaji office. If no valid claims are established, the attachments will be confirmed and legal disposal proceedings will follow.
