Trinamool Congress MPs to be appear before ED over Rosevalley money laundering scam

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued summons to Trinamool Congress MPs Sudip Bandopadhayay and Tapas Paul to appear before the agency within the next seven days in connection with Rosevalley money laundering scam, ED sources said.

Both the MPs are now on bail after being in jail in connection with the case.

An ED source said on Tuesday that both the MPs had been sent notices to appear before the investigating agency within seven days.

"They will asked about their involvement with the company and whether any monetary transactions were involved," he said.

While Bandopadhayay was in judicial custody for more than four months, Pal, an actor, got bail after 13 months in jail.

Like the Saradha ponzi scheme scam, the Rosevalley money laundering scam resulted in thousands of depositors losing their money after which the investigation was launched at the instance of Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
