Naresh Goyal Attributes Jet Airways Crisis to Market Conditions; ED Alleges Fraud
Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal attributed the airline's financial crisis in April 2019 to adverse macroeconomic factors like rising fuel prices, foreign exchange volatility, and competition, denying any fraudulent conduct. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) opposed his discharge plea, alleging systemic fraud and money laundering involving Rs 538.62 crore siphoned from loans by Canara Bank. Goyal, currently on medical bail, maintained that financial distress resulted from market conditions and standard business practices, rejecting ED's claims of fund diversion through General Sales Agents.
