The ED disclosed this in a recent statement filed in the Kerala High Court against CMRL for committing cognizable offenses under the Money Laundering Act, and it was one such payment.
The issue of Veena Vijayan's IT firm receiving huge sums of money first came to light last year in a media report, in which a statement from the Income Tax Department was cited as the conclusion.
The matter was taken up actively and aggressively by then Congress MLA Mathew Kuzhalandan.
Ultimately, top officials of the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) rejected all the allegations as baseless and termed the entire matter as 'a business deal between two professional companies'.
However, Kuzhalandan remained firm on his position. Later, the Congress MLA was also accused of grabbing government land and a case was registered against him.
The ED made the comments after some CMRL officials approached the court to quash the proceedings initiated by them.
The court will hear this matter again on Monday.
Apart from the ED, the Serious Fraud Investigation Office and the Registrar of Companies are also looking into the case.
Political observers believe that things are becoming tough for both the Kerala Chief Minister and his daughter, with the ED once again saying it has "evidence" in the case.
