Investigations into his assets revealed he several properties, including a marine company in Dubai. His annual business turnover, reportedly through illegal means, was over Rs100 crore, crime branch sources said.
According to the police, Ali's books of accounts revealed multiple dubious cash transactions. For instance, Crime branch sources said that they had found a receipt which said that Ali had purchased marine diesel worth Rs65 lakh in cash. Ali has amassed properties, believed to have been bought through his illegitimate business, police said. As per police records, Ali owns Blue Bird hotel in Colaba, and a plush mall in Allahabad. He also owns up to 11 companies, one of which is in Dubai. The Dubai based firm is a company which deals in transport and marine diesel. "We are in the process of issuing a Letter of Rogatory (LR) to the Dubai authorities, asking them to furnish us all the details about Ali's firm," a police officer said.
The agency through its investigation had seized documents from Ali which had revealed that he had made transactions with a few companies in Dubai and Hong Kong.
