The charges on money laundering framed in the 2G scam by a special court here on Friday said Swan Telecom was allotted Unified Access Services licences allegedly in an illegal manner in 13 services areas with the connivance of former Telecom Minister A. Raja and others.
The complaint said Kalaignar TV had received the alleged bribe on behalf of Mr. Raja. It had later returned the money through the same routes through which it had come with an interest amount of Rs. 31.36 crore to show that it was a genuine loan transaction, the complaint said.
The Rs. 200-crore bribe had also been transferred to Kalaignar TV in the same manner after deducting interest amounts to show that it was loan transaction, the complaint added.
