Mumbai, (PTI)-After the Income tax department, the IPL is now attracting the attention of the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The ED plans to seek IPL documents relating to the bidding and award of contracts collected by the Income Tax department from the office of Lalit Modi and other IPL premises.
Official sources said the Directorate is likely to probe the deals involving foreign investors based in tax havens.
The Enforcement Directorate is a wing of the Finance Ministry which monitors foreign exchange violations and money laundering.
If any evidence of such activity emerges from the scrutiny of the documents, then a a full-fledged probe will be initiated, ED sources said.
The Directorate will ask the I-T department to share the files and documents it collected during the IPL searches.
The I-T department's special team in Mumbai has sent a voluminous report on its findings to the Finance Ministry in Delhi.
