Former CPI(M) district secretaries had knowledge of illegal loan disbursement from Karuvannur bank: ED
The Directorate of Enforcement has alleged that former Minister A. C. Moideen knowingly assisted some of the accused in the Karuvannur Service Cooperative Bank loan scam in the process of money laundering and was thus guilty of the offence under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. The ED alleged that Mr. Moideen, who was the secretary of Communist Party of India (Marxist) Thrissur district committee between 2011 and 2016, knew that illegal loans had been granted from the bank. He knowingly assisted the accused, who had availed illegal loans, in raising funds for the party from the loan amount. A certain percentage of the proceeds of crime was possessed by the CPI(M) for raising funds, which was used for the purchase of property for party office, it was alleged. The final complaint alleged that M.M. Varghese, who was the district secretary of the party between 2018 and 2025, had knowledge of the granting of illegal loans from the bank and he knowingly assisted the accused who had availed illegal loans for raising funds for the CPI(M) from the loan amount. The proceeds of crime were used for purchasing property for party office, and the property was registered in the name of Mr. Varghese, the final complaint filed on Monday alleged.
