Mumbai, 21st April. The Enforcement Directorate has decided to file a chargesheet against Maharashtra Minister and NCP leader Nawab Malik’s sons Faraz Malik and Aamir Malik, after they failed to appear before the ED for questioning in connection with underworld don Dawood Ibrahim money laundering case.
According to the Enforcement Directorate, Faraz Malik and Aamir Malik were sent summons several times asking them to appear for questioning. But both skipped the summon.
Earlier, the Enforcement Directorate had served the first notice to Faraz Malik on March 1, when he did not appear before the federal agency, following which, another summon was sent on March 16. Recently, ED sent the third summon to Faraz, where again he failed to appear. Faraz’s brother Aamir was also sent a summon twice but he also skipped it.
ED recently attached properties of Maharashtra Minister and NCP leader Nawab Malik and his family under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA). The properties provisionally attached by the Enforcement Directorate include Goawala Compound, Kurla (West), Commercial Unit at Kurla West, Mumbai, 147.794 acres of agricultural land in Osmanabad district, three flats in Kurla West and two flats in Bandra West, Mumbai also include Solidus Investments Pvt Ltd and Malik Infrastructure.
