Hasan Ali chargesheeted by ED
May 6th, 2011 - 7:10 pm ICT by IANSMumbai, May 6 (IANS) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) Friday filed a chargesheet against Hasan Ali Khan, alleged money launderer and the country’s top tax evader, and his associate Kolkata-based businessman Kashinath Tapuriah in a Mumbai court.
Khan’s lawyer I.P. Bagaria confirmed the development. “The ED has filed the chargesheet against Khan and Tapuriah under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act,” he said.
The ED had recently questioned Bihar Congress leader Amlendu Pandey and Puducherry Lieutenant Governor Iqbal Singh and recorded their statements for allegedly helping Khan get a fake passport in Patna.
Khan was taken into custody by the ED March 17 after the Supreme Court cancelled the bail granted to him by a trial court. On March 21, the apex court had ordered his custody to the ED for an additional three days.
A Mumbai sessions court April 26 extended Khan’s judicial custody till May 7.
Khan is suspected to have stashed away around $8 billion in Swiss bank accounts, transferring cash and assets out of the country through dubious means and evading taxes on income with a suspected liability of over Rs.40,000 crore.
