NEW DELHI: In more trouble for liquor baron Vijay Mallya, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is set to soon file a fresh charge sheet against him and his companies on charges of money laundering and allegedly cheating a consortium of nationalized banks to the tune of Rs 6,027 crore, officials said here.
With this charge sheet (also known as the prosecution complaint), official sources told PTI, the central probe agency will seek from a court permission to “confiscate” more than Rs 9,000 crore worth assets of the beleaguered businessman and his firms under the recently promulgated Fugitive Economic Offenders Ordinance.
The ED last year had filed its first charge sheet against Mallya, now in London, in the about Rs 900 crore IDBI bank-Kingfisher Airlines (KFA) alleged bank loan fraud case.
It has attached assets worth Rs 9,890 crore in this case till now.
The forthcoming charge sheet will revolve around the complaint received from the State Bank of India (SBI) on behalf of the consortium of banks for causing loss of Rs 6,027 crore to them by not keeping repayment commitments of his loan (by Mallya firms) taken during 2005-10, they said. PTI
