If ED questions Kerala CM’s son, everything will come out, says gold smuggling accused Swapna Suresh

Swapna Suresh, prime accused in the diplomatic baggage gold smuggling case, has reacted to the news that Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s son Vivek Kiran has ignored the summons issued by the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) in 2023 in connection with the Life Mission money-laundering case.

In a Facebook post, Swapna said if the ED questions the son and daughter of the chief minister properly, everything will come out loud and clear like the sound of bells. For that to happen, the father’s throne must be overthrown, she added.

Questioning why the Malayalam media are only now reporting on the ED summons to the chief minister’s son, she said if an ordinary citizen’s child ignored an ED notice, it would trigger immediate arrest, court proceedings, and a public uproar.

In her Facebook post on Saturday, Swapna recalled a 2018 incident when she, along with her former boss – the UAE Consular General, had gone to the home of the ‘Captain’. “In 2018, I went to meet the captain with my old boss, the UAE Council General. The meeting was held at the captain’s official house. There, the captain introduced his son to the Council General. The Captain told him (the UAE Consular General) that his son works in a bank in UAE and would like to buy a star hotel in the UAE at a reasonable price and requested the Council General to provide him with the necessary assistance.(If the CCTV footage of the captain’s official residence has not been destroyed in lightning, the ED can see its visuals, if interested.) The doubt that arises among the public – can the son of a bank officer buy a star hotel in the UAE,” wrote Swapna Suresh.

She ends her post by saying that in the coming days more disclosures can be expected.
