AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes summoned by ED in PMLA case
AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes and top officials of the airline have been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning in connection with a money laundering case arising out of allegations that they attempted to illegally change rules to enable it to fly internationally.
The summons came on a case registered by the ED under Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against the airline and its officials in May 2018. The ED case followed a CBI FIR against Fernandes, controversial aviation consultant Deepak Talwar, AirAsia (India) Director R Venkataramanan, AirAsia (Berhad) Deputy CEO Bo Lingam, HNR Trading Pte Ltd Director Rajender Dubey and Travel/Total Food Services Chairman Sunil Kapur among others.
