The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has obtained copies of 134 documents collected by the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) in connection with the probe in the Cochin Minerals and Rutile Limited (CMRL) pay-off case.

A special court in Ernakulam had earlier allowed the Central agency to access the copies of documents collected by the SFIO, which had investigated the alleged fictitious expenses submitted by the CMRL before the Income Tax Interim Settlement Board.

It included the documents related to the payments amounting to ₹2.78 crore paid by the CMRL to Exalogic, the now-defunct company of T. Veena, daughter of Leader of the Opposition Pinarayi Vijayan. The SFIO under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs had found that the money was transferred to the firm without receiving any services in return.

An investigation by the SFIO had revealed fictitious cash expenses of about ₹182 crore over a span of 15 years, which was allegedly used by the CMRL to bribe various persons.

The ED has asked Ms. Veena to appear before it for the second round of questioning on June 29 in connection with the money-laundering probe in the CMRL pay-off case. She had earlier appeared at the zonal office of the agency here on June 17.
