INX Media Scam: Karti Chidambaram's Assets Worth Rs. 11.04 Crore Seized by ED

Описание: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has announced the attachment of assets worth Rs 11.04 crore belonging to Congress MP Karti Chidambaram in the INX Media money laundering case. Karti Chidambaram, the son of former Union Minister and senior Congress leader P Chidambaram, is currently serving as an MP from Sivaganga Lok Sabha seat in Tamil Nadu. He was previously arrested by both the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the ED in connection with the INX case. The case involves alleged illegal gratification received by Karti Chidambaram, either directly or indirectly, from INX Media Pvt Limited. The company had received approval from the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) during the tenure of P Chidambaram as the Union Finance Minister in the UPA government.

The ED's attachment of assets is a continuation of its ongoing investigation into the money laundering allegations against Karti Chidambaram. The move is aimed at preventing the accused from disposing of the said assets and ensuring their availability for eventual confiscation. The ED has been probing the matter since 2017 and has so far seized assets worth Rs 54 crore related to the case. The case has garnered significant media attention due to the high-profile nature of the accused and the alleged involvement of a former Union Minister.
