According to the ED charge sheet, Fernandez was aware of Sukesh's participation in criminal matters, but she chose to ignore it and engaged in financial dealings with him. ED had previously claimed that Fernandez's testimonies, in which she acknowledged receiving gifts from Chandrashekar, were taped on August 30 and October 20, 2021.

According to the ED, Fernandez had purchased expensive presents for herself and her family members in India and overseas using profits of crime, and this constituted money laundering in violation of section 3 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act 2002.
