Aircel Maxis deal: 'Enough incriminating material' against Dayanidhi Maran, 5 others

New Delhi: Former Telecom Minister Dayanidhi Maran, his brother Kalanithi Maran and four others appeared before a special court on Monday in pursuance of the summons issued to them in a Aircel-Maxis deal-related money laundering case and moved their bail pleas. Besides Maran brothers, Kalanithi’s wife Kavery Kalanithi and K Shanmugam, Managing Director of South Asia FM Ltd (SAFL) also moved their bail application before Special CBI Judge OP Saini after which the court issued notice to Enforcement Directorate (ED) and posted the matter for 21 July.

AFP[/caption] The court had on 27 February summoned all the four accused persons and two firms – SAFL and Sun Direct TV Pvt Ltd (SDTPL) – as accused in the case. The summons were issued by the court while taking cognisance of ED’s charge sheet against the six accused under provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The court had said there was “enough incriminating material” to proceed against the accused. The court also asked the ED to continue the ongoing investigation and file fresh complaints, if required. ED has chargesheeted the six accused under provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). During arguments earlier, ED’s special prosecutor N K Matta had claimed that there were money transactions which allegedly showed that SDTPL and SAFL had received Rs 742.58 crore as “proceeds of crime” from Mauritius-based firms in the Aircel-Maxis deal. The agency had claimed that “proceeds of crime” amounting to Rs 549.03 crore and Rs 193.55 crore were received by SDTPL and SAFL, allegedly controlled by co-accused Kalanithi Maran, respectively through various Mauritius-based entities. The ED prosecutor had referred to the details of money transactions between these firms and alleged that SDTPL had received Rs 549.03 crore from Mauritius-based firm M/s South Asia Entertainment Holding Ltd. ED had earlier alleged before the court that Dayanidhi had generated funds worth Rs 742.58 crore through illegal means and there was sufficient prima facie material to proceed against him and others accused in the case. It had alleged that Dayanidhi had obtained “illegal gratification” of Rs 742.58 crore and the money was “parked” in the firms of Kalanithi by projecting it as untainted.
