Bineesh Kodiyeri gave over Rs 5 crore to Anoop, claims ED

Bengaluru: The Enforcement Directorate has levelled serious allegations against Bineesh Kodiyeri who was arrested in connection with the Bengaluru drug case. 

In the report submitted before the court, ED has claimed that Bineesh handed over more than Rs 5 crore to Anoop Mohammed through various bank accounts from 2012 to 2019. The report also noted that Bineesh raised the funds through drug deals.

The report also carried statements which mentioned Bineesh engaging in the drug trade.

Irregularities were found in the income tax documents of the companies owned by Bineesh. A detailed probe into these companies should be carried out, observed the report.

The Enforcement Directorate also pointed out the need to probe on the bank fraud case in which Bineesh was booked in Dubai. Abdul Latheef, who was booked in a gold smuggling case, is identified as Bineesh’s benami. Bineesh has hidden plenty of assets by naming many people as benami, reported ED.

The court extended Bineesh’s custody to ED for five more days on Monday.
