Kanimozhi,MP, is likely to be booked by Enforcement Directorate for laundering money under PMLA(Prevention of Money Laundering Act)..

ED is to call her for questioning and the process for attachment of the properties of Kalaignar TV is on.

Kanimozhi and Dayalu(Karunanidhi’s legal wife) control 80% of Kalaignar TV stocks-Kanimozhi 60%,Dayalu 20 %.

This is based on CBI’s  supplementary charge sheet naming Kanimozhi as Co-Conspirator in the 2G Scam.

The 48-page charge sheet said Ms. Kanimozhi had actively pursued with the intermediaries and DMK headquarters the matter regarding reappointment of accused A. Raja as Minister of Communications and Information Technology in 2009 which “clearly establishes the strong association of accused Kanimozhi and A. Raja in the official/political matters.”

The investigation disclosed that there were a number of circumstances which together conclusively “establish that the amount of Rs. 200 crore paid by Dynamix Realty to Kalaignar TV through Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Pvt. Ltd. and Cineyug Films Pvt. Ltd. was not a genuine business transaction but was in the nature of illegal gratification paid in lieu of the Unified Access Service [UAS] Licences, valuable spectrum and other undue benefit given by accused public servants to Swan Telecom Pvt. Ltd.”

The charge sheet has kept its focus on trying to pin down the money trail that ultimately led to payment of “illegal gratification” of more than Rs. 200 crore to Kalaignar TV through a circuitous route. It said investigation had revealed that for all the transactions of more than Rs. 200 crore between Dynamix Realty, Kusegaon Fruits & Vegetables Pvt. Ltd., Cineyug and Kalaignar TV, claimed to be in nature of loan, no valid agreement was signed between any of the parties and no collaterals/securities were ensured to secure the alleged loan amounts.

The charge sheet stated that accused Asif Balwa and Rajiv B. Agarwal, both directors of Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Pvt. Ltd. (now Kusegaon Realty Pvt. Ltd.) and accused Karim Morani, director of Cineyug Films Pvt. Ltd. (now Cineyug Media and Entertainment Pvt. Ltd.), Mumbai, had intentionally aided and facilitated the payment of illegal gratification of Rs. 200 crore as a reward for undue favours shown to their group company Swan Telecom to Kalaignar TV on behalf of Mr. Raja, Sharad Kumar and Ms. Kanimozhi and “gave it a colour of a regular business transaction.”

“These facts and circumstances constitute commission of offence during 2007-2011, punishable under Section 120-B of the Indian Penal Code read with Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 against A. Raja, Sharad Kumar and Kanimozhi, and Section 12 of the PC Act, 1988 against Shahid Balwa, Vinod Goenka, Asif Balwa, Rajiv B. Agarwal and Karim Morani,” it said.

The charge sheet sought to demolish the defence of the accused persons that the transaction of Rs. 200 crore among Dynamix Realty, Kusegaon Fruits & Vegetables Pvt. Ltd., Cineyug and Kalaignar TV were “genuine business transactions” in the nature of loans/advances. It listed 14 circumstances in support of the charge that the transaction in question amounted to illegal gratification.
