The central agency will probe whether money laundering was involved in the guise of payments related to the sale of the fake antiques by the accused
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has opened an enquiry against alleged conman and self-style antique dealer Monson Mavunkal on suspicion of violating the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
The move comes after the Kerala High Court on November 11 impleaded the ED as a respondent in the case registered against the accused as it felt that the investigation had to be conducted on a larger scale and the police required the assistance of other agencies.
The central agency will probe whether money laundering was involved in the guise of payments related to the sale of the fake antiques by the accused.
