KOLKATA: A special PMLA court has observed that no “prima facie” case can be made out against Nalini Chidambaram for money laundering in the Saradha probe.
Judge Prashanta Mukhopadhyay said in the order on Tuesday that since no case was made out “for the offence under Section 3 punishable under Section 4 of the PMLA Act, 2002”, the “supplementary complaint dated July 5 stands dismissed”.
ED had alleged that Nalini had received Rs 1.3 crore between June 11, 2010 and June 17, 2012 from Saradha group boss Sudipta Sen‘s companies. It said no invoice or bill was raised by Nalini against receipt of such payment.
After several ED summons, Nalini’s lawyer claimed that no agreement was ever made between her and Sen or his companies.
