A chargesheet has been filed in the Chennai Principal Sessions Court against 12 individuals, including former DMK executive Jaffer Sadiq, for alleged involvement in illegal money transfers, sparking widespread attention. Among the accused is a prominent Tamil film director, adding a surprising twist to the case.
Jaffer Sadiq, previously arrested in connection with drug trafficking, now faces additional charges under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had registered a separate case against him, which is currently being heard in court.
Recently, Special Public Prosecutor N. Ramesh, representing the ED, submitted a detailed 302-page chargesheet. The document lists Jaffer Sadiq, his wife Ameenabanu, his brother Mohammed Saleem, Tamil film director Ameer, and Jaffer Sadiq’s film production company among the accused. A total of 12 individuals have been charged in connection with the case.
The chargesheet also requests the court’s approval to confiscate and freeze the assets of all companies involved. The involvement of director Ameer in illegal money transfers has sent shockwaves through the Tamil film industry, drawing public and media attention to the unfolding legal battle.
