Mumbai: Enforcement Directorate (ED) Tuesday questioned Goa-based miner Radha Timblo, whose name figured in the blackmoney list submitted by the government in the Supreme Court, in connection with a money laundering probe against her mining firm.
"She was grilled by the investigating officer of the case in Goa today. Her statement has been recorded," sources in the agency said.
They said the agency has given Timblo a week's time to furnish certain additional details about her and her mining company-- Timblo Private Limited.
ED has asked Timblo to furnish details of her company, its business operations and their financial transactions over the last few years.
"She has promised full cooperation in the probe case," they said.
The firm and its directors are being probed by ED, along with other mining firms based in Goa, after it registered a criminal case in the Rs 35,000-crore Goa illegal mining scam which was earlier investigated by the Justice M B Shah Commission for alleged large-scale irregularities.
Sources added that after interrogating Timblo, summons will soon be sent to her son Chetan Timblo and four other executives for recording their statements in the same case.
Timblo's name came to the fore after the central government submitted a list in the Supreme Court last month mentioning the name of the firm and its directors including Radha Satish Timblo, Chetan S Timblo, Rohan S Timblo, Anna C Timblo and Mallika R Timblo.
Timblo had maintained she had "no undisclosed bank account abroad" and that she has not done anything illegal.
The agency had, in June this year, registered a complaint under Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) after taking cognisance of the reports of the Commission, the inquiry boards constituted in this regard and also an FIR filed by Goa police's Crime Branch last year in August.
