THRISSUR: The questioning of former minister AC Moideen MLA by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday will be crucial. The questioning will be in the context of the disclosure of KA Jejor, the aide of P Satish Kumar, the main accused in the Karuvannur black money case.

Moideen's answers when questioned earlier were not taken at face value by ED. There is also a discrepancy in the statements given by counsellors, Anoop Davis Kada, PR Aravindakshan and Moideen. In addition to clarifying these, Jejor's disclosure may also be questioned. Jejor has revealed that he witnessed black money transactions and that CPM leaders including Moideen were involved.

Jejor's statement also states that Moideen moderated for Satish Kumar with the help of intermediary Kiran. It was said that the fraud was with the knowledge of CPM leaders in Kannur including the former minister and Moideen knew about it. Moideen may also face questions about the same. It is reported that one of those who gave a statement against the fraudsters will be pardoned by ED.

It is reported that the ED has received evidence of most of the 500 crore transactions allegedly conducted by Satish Kumar.

Although the primary information is that he has his own and benami accounts in about ten banks, information is being collected from all the banks governed by CPM in Thrissur district. It is reported that in some banks the fraud was done by using employees who are relatives of CPM leaders.
