New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate on Saturday, July 27, said it has arrested Satish Babu Sana in connection with the money-laundering probe against controversial meat exporter Moin Qureshi.

A senior ED official confirmed to IANS the arrest but refused to share further details. Sana was arrested from Delhi under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, the official said.

Sana, a Hyderabad-based businessman is a close aide of the meat exporter. His role came to light late last year after he gave a statement under section 164 accusing senior Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officials of taking a bribe in lieu for help in a corruption case.

Sana gave the statement during the infighting between then CBI Director Alok Verma and Special Director Rakesh Asthana.
