The Enforcement Directorate has registered 17 more money laundering cases on the basis of investigations conducted by the Central Bureau of Investigation into the coal block scam.

The Directorate has so far registered 33 cases pertaining to alleged irregularities in coal block allocations and seized assets worth Rs.200 crore as proceeds of crime purported to have been committed by the accused companies and individuals.

The process of summoning the accused persons and witnesses in new cases is under way. In the earlier cases, the ED has recorded statements of several office-bears of the companies named.

While the CBI has registered 37 coal block cases, it has filed charge sheets in five cases and closure reports in two.
