The probe agency registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), ED's equivalent of a police FIR, against the accused named in a CBI complaint, including Karti, INX media and its directors, Peter and Indrani Mukerjea.
New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate on Friday registered a money laundering case against Karti Chidambaram, adding to the troubles of former finance P Chidambaram’s son who is currently in the United Kingdom.
The CBI had filed an FIR against Karti and the Mukerjeas on charges of criminal conspiracy, cheating, receiving illegal gratification, influencing public servants and criminal misconduct.
These vouchers were issued in favour of Advantage Strategic Consulting (P) Limited, a firm "indirectly" owned by Karti, the CBI had alleged.
The senior Chidambaram, after the CBI searches on May 16, had issued a strong statement in response to the raids saying that the government was using the CBI and other agencies to target his son.
