The agency, according to sources, has registered nine cases under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and is in the process of going through all the CBI FIRs filed in the coal blocks allocation case.
The Supreme Court has also directed the agency to file by February 8 the status report on its probe into coal scam for suspected money laundering and foreign exchange rules violations.
