New Delhi, January 13: Following the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) raids on the premises of his son Karti Chidambaram, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram questioned the jurisdiction of the agency to investigate a matter related to Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2000.
“They (ED officials) searched & found nothing but since they had to justify themselves they took papers of a statement made by government in the Parliament, few years back. The ED has no jurisdiction to investigate under PMLA,” he added.
The minister was responding to ED raids conducted today on multiple premises — one location in Delhi and four in Chennai — of his son Karti Chidambaram in the INX media money laundering case.
