The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has allowed dismissed police officer Sachin Vaze to become an approver in a money laundering case against former Maharashtra Home Minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Anil Deshmukh.
The central agency filed an application before the special Prevention of Money Laundering Act court on Wednesday giving its consent.
In February this year, Mr. Vaze, currently lodged at Taloja Central Jail, wrote a letter to the ED seeking permission to turn an approver.
