Free Press Journal says ED recently took into custody Maharashtra’s ex MLA Vivekanand Patil for his alleged involvement in money laundering in the Rs 512.54 crore Karnala Nagari Sahakari Bank fraud.
Patil and others involved in the scam had minted money by faking documents. Patil and others have been booked under the provisions of Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
It is worth recalling that the ED’s action is based on the Navi Mumbai police booking 76 persons, including former MLA and Chairman of the Karnala Nagari Sahakari Bank in February last year.
