New Delhi, Nov 8 (PTI) The Enforcement Directorate on Saturday said it has attached assets worth Rs 21 crore of Karnataka Congress MLA Satish Krishna Sail as part of a money laundering investigation against him linked to a case of alleged illegal export of iron ore.

A provisional order was issued under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) on November 6 and the attached properties belong to Sail, who holds these assets through his Goa-based company named Shree Mallikarjun shipping Pvt Ltd. (SMSPL), the ED said in a statement.

The 59-year-old legislator from the Karwar assembly seat in Uttara Kannada was arrested by the federal probe agency in September.

He later obtained an interim bail on medical grounds which, the ED said, has been cancelled by a special PMLA court on Friday.
