The Supreme Court has addressed the money laundering case involving Karti Chidambaram, the son of former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram. The court has issued a notice in response to a petition from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) against a Delhi High Court order. The apex court has declined to put a stay on the High Court’s order at this time.
The Delhi High Court had previously issued an order staying the trial proceedings. This new investigation under the PMLA is based on an FIR registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which includes Diageo Scotland (UK), Sequoia Capital (Mauritius) and Vasan Healthcare Pvt Ltd. Karti Chidambaram is already under investigation in the INX Media case and for allegedly facilitating visas for Chinese nationals.
