CMRL-Exalogic pay-off case: Keralam Advocate General recommends booking of FIR against Pinarayi, Veena, Riyas and others
The Advocate General of Kerala has recommended that the state government register an FIR against former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and his family members regarding the CMRL-Exalogic money laundering case. The recommendation follows a report submitted by the Directorate of Enforcement.
Why it matters
This represents a significant legal and political development involving high-level government officials in India, potentially impacting state governance.
The top legal officer of the Keralam government is understood to have advised the State government to accept the report of the Directorate of Enforcement, which accused the former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, his daughter T. Veena, her husband P.A. Mohamed Riyas and a few others in the CMRL-Exalogic pay-off case of engaging in money laundering, and register a First Information Report.
The ED had submitted the report to the State Police Chief last week seeking to initiate further action in the case. The investigation agency had reportedly arrived at a conclusion that the accused, including Mr. Vijayan, Mr. Riyas and Ms. Veena, were involved in money laundering in association with Sasidharan Kartha, the managing director of Cochin Minerals and Rutile Limited, and his associates.
