The Enforcement Directorate on Monday issued summons against two former employees of United Bank of Switzerland (UBS) to appear before a special court in Mumbai between April 9 and 13. On the directions of a local court the summons were issued in connection with the multi-crore money laundering probe being carried out against Pune based stud-farm owner Hasan Ali Khan.

The summons issued are against former executive Director of UBS, Prabhu Guptara and another former employee Peter Willie under section 59 (1) of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). This section is used for reciprocal arrangements for processes and assistance for transfer of accused persons.

In the same case, the ED had also recently sent a Letters Rogatory to the European nation of Luxembourg. It has urged Luxembourg to obtain additional information about transfer of funds by Khan and his associate Kashinath Tapuriah worth $ 18 million from the Royal Bank of Luxembourg in 2005.
