Tina Ambani skips ED summons, 2nd in a month

NEW DELHI: Tina Ambani, the wife of Anil Ambani of Reliance group, skipped her second date with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday. She did not appear at the agency’s headquarters here on a summons issued in connection with a money laundering probe. Tina was earlier summoned on Feb 9. Her husband has been summoned for questioning on Wednesday in connection with an investigation into his group entities, including Reliance Communication and Reliance Power Ltd. Anil is facing a probe in a Rs 40,000 crore laundering case. Fast-tracking its investigation, ED has sent letters rogatory (LRs) to the US, the UK, the UAE, Singapore and some tax havens seeking further details on the alleged money trail. The LRs, formal requests served through courts to foreign jurisdictions to produce/validate evidence, have been sent to trace the “proceeds of the crime,” allegedly generated from bank loans received by group entities. Anil was questioned once earlier, in Aug last year, when he was asked to disclose details about his foreign assets and other transactions. Over the past year, ED has conducted 46 searches, including at premises linked to Anil in Mumbai, and attach-ed assets worth over Rs 12,000 crore. The agency has also constituted an SIT on the directions of Supreme Court to expedite its probe.
