Aircel-Maxis case: ED attaches assets worth Rs 742.58 crores in the name of Maran brothers
Chennai, Apr 1 (IBNS): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday attached Maran Brothers' assets worth Rs 742 crore to the Aircel-Maxis case.
Maran brothers are facing charges of money laundering and were earlier interrogated at ED's Delhi office under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
In October last year, a special 2G court had summoned the Maran bothers and six others as accused in the Aircel-Maxis case.
A front ranking leader of the Tamil Munnetra Kazagham, Dayanidhi Maran was telecom minister from 2004 to 2007 when Manmohan Singh was heading the Congress-led UPA government at the centre.
The CBI has alleged that Mr Maran misused his office in 2006 to pressure the owner of Aircel, C Sivasankaran, to sell his company to the Malayasia-based Maxis.
