The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday filed chargesheet against meat exporter Moin Akhtar Qureshi in a money laundering case.
The chargesheet was filed before CBI Special Judge Arun Bhardwaj. After considering the chargesheet, the judge listed the matter for October 25 for further hearing. “In view of the averments made in the complaint (chargesheet), cognisance of the offence under… Prevention of Money Laundering Act is taken against the accused…,” the court order said.
Qureshi was accused of moving money for government officials, including some CBI officers.
The ED had earlier said that during the probe, certain facts have emerged which constitute omission and commission of acts on the part of certain public servants holding high positions in collusion with Qureshi. The agency also said records collected from I-T department revealed that Qureshi took a large amount of money from different people for “undue favours from public servants”.
