MUMBAI: The Adjudicating Authority, appointed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act or PMLA, on Tuesday confirmed the attachment of Satara's Jarandeshwar Sahakari Sugar Karkhana (cooperative sugar mill) worth over Rs 65 crore linked to Maharashtra deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had attached the sugar mill last year in July, and its confirmation will help the agency to take its possession. "After getting the attachment confirmation order copy, the ED will initiate the process of taking possession of the mill," said an ED source.
