The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has registered a case of money laundering in connection with the alleged payment of USD 5.7 million in kickbacks in the 2008 Embraer aircraft deal.
ED sources said that the agency has filed a criminal complaint under provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) based on a CBI FIR filed in this case last month.
The agency will now begin issuing summons to the accused who could include those named in the CBI FIR.
