The Enforcement Directorate has issued fresh summons to Narada news CEO Mathew Samuel in its money laundering probe, initiated after a sting operation purportedly showed several TMC leaders, including MPs and ministers, taking money.
Samuel was first summoned by the central probe agency to depose on May 18 at its office here. However, officials said, he informed the agency that he would not be able to appear in person due to some medical condition and requested them to question him at his present location in Kerala.
Hence, Samuel has been asked to meet the investigating officer (IO) of the case on May 24 at its office in Kochi in Kerala, the officials said.
The ED has asked him to carry along documents relating to his personal finances, those of the news channel and material related to the purported sting operation, they said.
