ED Conducts Searches in Connection with Veena’s Financial Transactions
NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) carried out follow-up searches at nine locations in Kozhikode on Tuesday. These searches are linked to individuals mentioned in the handwritten notes of Veena, daughter of former Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, which were previously confiscated in May.
On Wednesday, the ED claimed that the documents and digital devices seized from Veena indicated her involvement in undisclosed transactions totaling over Rs 20 crore in India and Rs 85 lakh related to Dubai.
The agency’s earlier searches in May were part of an investigation into money laundering linked to Cochin Minerals and Rutile Limited. According to the ED, Veena’s handwritten notes included names of individuals, amounts of money handled and spent, as well as funds transferred to Dubai.
Additionally, the digital devices seized contained an image of a SIM card that was registered under someone else’s name and was used in a Wi-Fi router.
The investigation continues as authorities delve deeper into these financial matters.
