Among other things, the money was used by Mr Goyal and his wife to buy furniture and jewellery.
The ED's counsel told the special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court in Mumbai that a consortium of banks had loaned money to Jet Airways (India) Ltd for operational use, but Rs 1,152 crore was spent on consulting fees. The company also lent Rs 2,500 crore to its sister entity Jet Lite (India) Ltd and then forgave the loan.
While the ED had sought Mr Goyal's custody for 14 days, the court remanded him in the agency's custody till September 11.
