2G PMLA case: Court to hear final arguments from June 11

A defence witness in a 2G scam- related money laundering case, in which former Telecom Minister A Raja, DMK MP Kanimozhi and 17 others are facing trial, on Friday told a special court here that money transactions between several accused firms were "legal" and "genuine".

"The character of money invested by Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables (P) Ltd into Cineyug Films (P) Ltd and Cineyug Films (P) Ltd into Kalaignar TV (P) Limited was legal and correct one and a genuine business transaction and so was its return," Mitesh Vinay Kant Kurani, Chief Financial Officer of Cineyug Media and Entertainment Pvt Ltd, told the court.

The special court later fixed June 1 for commencement of final arguments in the 2G scam-related money laundering case, after Special CBI Judge O P Saini concluded recording of defence evidence during which the accused examined six witnesses.
