ASG submitted that Jain had not cooperated in the investigation. His answers were always evasive. He denied the connection with the trust. When confronted with documents he said he doesn’t remember as his memory has been affected post-COVID.
SV Raju also submitted that the money laundering was done under the corporate veil of companies which Jain had controlled. Vaibhav Jain and Ankush Jain were made directors in those companies. They were his benamidars.
Satyendra Jain was arrested on May 30 in the money laundering case connected with the disproportionate asset (DA) case registered by CBI.
