The Enforcement Directorate has issued notices to two former executives of the UBS Switzerland to appear for evidence recording at Mumbai in the Hassan Ali money laundering case.

The former executives are believed to have helped the Pune-based businessman Ali in his money laundering allegedly estimated at more than $8 billion. The income Tax had also served Ali with notices in the same case for recovery of Rs 70,000 crore, including penalty for tax evasion.

The summons was issued after a Mumbai court allowed ED to investigate the former UBS officials under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). One of the UBS employees served UBS as its executive director and had been mentioned in bank documents recovered from Ali during search at his residence.

Ali had allegedly been in contact with a Saudi arms dealer, and there were banking transactions that ED sleuths suspect could be commission he may have received in arms deals.

The Mumbai court has asked the two former UBS officials to present themselves before investigating officers in the second week of April.

Earlier, the agency had sought information from UBS and the Royal bank of Luxembourg in an alleged transfer of funds by Ali and his associates.

The ED had in the same case earlier questioned Puducherry Lieutenant Governor Iqbal Singh and some senior police officers. Ali and his associates, including Kolkata-based Kashinath Tapuriah, were also arrested in the case and questioned.

Another Ali aide and a Congress functionary from Bihar Amlendu Pandey was also interrogated by the agency in the same case. Pandey had stated under oath that he had been in regular contact with Singh and had helped Pune-based businessman to obtain a passport from Patna under forged documents.

Sources in ED say Tapuriah and Pandey had allegedly accompanied Ali to Singapore for opening of bank accounts and were allegedly partners in his money laundering activities.
