New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday chargesheeted two Dubai-based firms and one of their directors in the Rs 3,600 crore VVIP chopper deal related money laundering case.
In the supplementary charge sheet filed before Special Judge Arvind Kumar, the ED named Shivani Saxena, currently in judicial custody, as an "active" director of Dubai-based M/S UHY Saxena and M/S Matrix Holdings.
Both the companies have also been chargesheeted by the agency under various sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The court has put up the final report for consideration on September 19.
Saxena was arrested by the ED on July 17 from Chennai in Tamil Nadu.
The final report also mentions the name of her husband Rajiv Saxena, who is also one of the directors in both these firms and has been evading ED summons to join the probe.
However, he has not been arrayed as an accused so far and the agency said that another supplementary charge sheet may follow.
Saxena and her husband are residents of Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, an archipelago which is home to the most expensive properties in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the report said.
It alleged that the two Dubai-based firms were the entities "through which the proceeds of crime have been routed and further layered and integrated in buying the immovable properties/shares among others" in this case.
The agency claimed that its probe found that AgustaWestland, United Kingdom, had "paid an amount of Euro 58 million as kickbacks" through two Tunisia-based firms.
"These companies further siphoned off the said money in the name of consultancy contracts to M/s Interstellar Technologies Limited, Mauritius and others which were further transferred to M/s UHY Saxena and M/s Matrix Holdings Ltd, Dubai and others," the charge sheet said.
The ED had also claimed that Rajiv was the "beneficial owner of Ms Interstellar Technologies Limited, Mauritius".
