Hyderabad: Opposition leader in the TS legislative council and former minister Mohammed Shabbir Ali has denied reports that he has been named in a chargesheet filed by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case against meat exporter Moin Qureshi.
In the chargesheet, the ED stated that Ali travelled to Delhi with another businessman and paid a “large sum of money” to Mr Qureshi.
The ED complaint has substantiated the charges of alleged money laundering against Qureshi.
It had earlier claimed that witnesses have confirmed that they had delivered crores of rupees for Mr Qureshi and his associates through his employees. One of the witnesses has stated that Rs 1.75 crore has been exported by the accused from him and his friend in favour for the help provided to him in a CBI case.
The CBI has also claimed that Mr Qureshi was involved in hawala transactions through Delhi hawala operators.
Mr Shabbir said he was not involved in any such activity and he has not received any notices from the agency and he is ready to cooperate with the ED if called on to do so.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a prosecution complaint against meat exporter Moin Akhtar Qureshi in a Prevention of Money-Laundering Act case in New Delhi on Tuesday.
