NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate has been currently questioning senior officials of Air Asia and has issued summons to its CEO Tony Fernandes for personal appearance at its headquarters in Delhi on January 20 in a money laundering case registered against the airline.
The ED, which registered a money laundering case against Air Asia last year, is probing an alleged payoff of $1 million, the tip-off for which came during the questioning of the airline’s former CEO Mittu Chandilya.
Chandilya was questioned by the ED last year in another case being probed by the agency under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) for alleged irregularities in the Air Asia getting various clearances from the Indian government before it started its regular service.
