The Enforcement Directorate has summoned DMK MP Ms Kanimozhi later this week in connection with its probe into alleged financial irregularities in the 2G spectrum allocation case.
She has been asked by the agency to either come herself or send an authorised representative to submit financial documents and record her statement on April 26, ED sources said.
Kanimozhi was last year released on bail in the 2G case and the agency is set to begin prosecution.
Kanimozhi and others have been charged by the CBI in connection with the channelling of Rs 200 crore to DMK family-run Kalaignar TV through a circuitous route.
The ED had summoned her for questioning about the transfer of the Rs 200 crore to the TV channel, in which she and Kalaignar TV MD Mr Sharad Kumar hold 20 per cent stake each.
Some other transactions are also under the scanner of the ED in the 2G scam. The ED, according to the sources, had earlier scrutinised documents related to the DMK MP’s income, properties and personal investments and plans to take the probe forward, they said.
The ED had earlier initiated attachment proceedings under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act against other individuals and certain telecom firms involved in the case.
Besides the cases of Ms Kanimozhi and Mr Kumar, similar probe is under way under the provisions of the anti-money laundering Act against Swan Telecom promoter Mr Shahid Usman Balwa’s cousin Mr Asif Balwa, Director of Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Pvt Ltd Mr Rajeev Agarwal and Mr Karim Murani of Cineyug Films (Pvt) Ltd.
