ED grills Praful Patel in money laundering case

Former Union minister and NCP leader Praful Patel on Friday was interrogated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money-laundering probe linked to the alleged illegal assets of late Iqbal Mirchi, an aide of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.

According to sources, the official interrogated Patel on his alleged links with Mirchi and the allegations of money laundering by Patel’s company Millennium Developers. The ED is expected to record Patel’s statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.

Patel was earlier questioned by the ED in another money laundering case linked to the aviation scam. (UNI)
