In connection with Rs 4000 crore money laundering scam involving former Jharkhand chief minister Madhu Koda, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has carried out searches and raids on the premises of realtor Emmar MGF, said reports.
According to reports, ED found certain documents showing that Koda’s aides were on the board of certain Emaar group companies.
It may be mentioned that Emaar MGF, a joint venture between Dubai-based Emaar Properties and India’s MGF Development, is the main company involved with the Commonwealth Games construction project.
Reports said that Vikas Sinha, Koda’s aide, currently in judicial custody, had told investigators that he and some others had invested on behalf of Koda in the same companies.
The ED began raids in the morning after it got information about the group’s involvement in Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) violations.
Reports further said that the raids on the offices are taking place across various locations in the National Capital Region (NCR).
They said that Emaar MGF is being held accountable for allowing money to go out of the country in violation of FEMA regulations and also for allowing money to come into the country in violation of foreign exchange rules.
