BENGALURU: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a charge sheet against Bineesh Kodiyeri, the fourth accused in the money laundering case. The ED stated that Anoop, the first accused in the drug trafficking case, was the benami of Bineesh Kodiyeri. According to the ED, Bineesh had earned a huge amount of money with the help of Anoop and this money was laundered by investing in various businesses.

Bineesh, who has high-level contacts in the state government, had received commissions from many by claiming that he can get several government contracts for them. However, the charge sheet does not say whether any such contract was awarded or whether Bineesh helped in securing the contract.

Bineesh, who was arrested on October 29, is lodged in the Parappana Agrahara Jail in Bangalore. The trial of the case will begin soon.
