October 23, 2015 20:07

The Interpol has yet again sought additional information from the Enforcement Directorate on its money laundering case against former IPL Chairman Lalit Modi as part of the process to issue a Red Corner Notice against him.

Officials said the Interpol sought fresh information from the agency for the third time after the agency had moved the world police body through CBI in August this year for getting a global warrant notified against Modi in the Indian Premier League T-20 cricket tournament probe. They said the Interpol wanted to have "more information" about the case registered by the agency under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against Modi which has been replied back, for the third time, "very recently".

Twice earlier, sources said, the ED has replied with full details of the case against Modi but the Interpol sought more information in this regard before a possible RCN is issued.

Investigators also expressed shock and surprise at the Interpol seeking repeated information in this case which is leading to a situation that the request of a prime investigating agency in a criminal case not coming through.
