The ED had registered a money laundering case in June this year in the Rs 35,000-crore Goa illegal mining scam which was investigated by the M B Shah Commission for alleged large scale irregularities.
The complaint was registered under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) taking cognisance of the reports of the Commission and inquiry boards constituted in this regard and also an FIR of the Goa police Crime Branch filed last year in August.
The Enforcement Case Information Report filed by the agency named some 80 companies involved in mining and exports of ore in Goa.
