The Enforcement Directorate on Monday submitted before a Special court here that Kaveri Kalanidhi, the wife of Kalanidhi Maran, had actively participated in obtaining the proceeds of crime in a money laundering case connected with the Aircel-Maxis deal.

Counsel for the Directorate, N.K. Matta, made this submission in reply to a query by the court as to why the Directorate had made only Kalanidhi Maran and his wife the accused in the case when there were other directors in the companies who had allegedly received the proceeds of crime.

Mr. Matta also gave to the court the account details of the two companies that had allegedly received the proceeds of crime.

Her signature on different agreements also proved her participation in the crime, Mr. Matta further submitted.

Special Judge O.P. Saini was hearing the argument by counsel for the Directorate on taking cognisance of the complaint.

> The Directorate had earlier in January filed a complaint against former Union Minister Dayanidhi Maran, his brother, Kalanidhi Maran , and Kaveri Kalanidhi in the case. The complaint is a spin off of the corruption case lodged by CBI in the Aircel-Maxis deal
