MUMBAI: A Special PMLA Court in Mumbai on Tuesday framed charges against former Maharashtra Minister and NCP leader Nawab Malik in a money laundering case linked to underworld don Dawood Ibrahim’s syndicate.
Malik, who is currently out on bail, pleaded not guilty. However, the court found enough evidence to proceed against Malik.
The case pertains to the alleged illegal acquisition of around three acres of land in the Goawala Compound in Kurla, said to belong to one Munira Plumber.
Malik, Dawood Ibrahim’s sister Haseena Parkar, her aide Salim Patel, and 1993 Mumbai blasts accused Sardar Khan are accused of conspiring to grab the land and later launder the money. The ED values the proceeds at around Rs 16 crore.
