ED arguments over in Herald case, it's Gandhis' turn now
Sonia and Rahul Gandhi NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) claimed before a Delhi court on Thursday that the National Herald case is a "classic case of money laundering". Young Indian Pvt Ltd, in which ex-Congress presidents Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi held a 76% stake, was allegedly created to launder Rs 2,000 crore from Associated Journals Ltd, the company that published 'National Herald' newspaper. "This is a classic case where the offence of money laundering is made against all the accused," submitted additional solicitor general SV Raju, appearing for the ED before the court of special judge Vishal Gogne. He asked the court to take cognisance of the chargesheet. The court was hearing arguments on the point of cognisance of the chargesheet filed against Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in the money laundering case. The agency concluded its arguments in the case on Thursday. Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi will make submissions before the court on Friday, appearing for Sonia Gandhi. The ED, through the ASG, submitted that Sonia and Rahul Gandhi were beneficial owners and in ultimate control of Young Indian, and that after the deaths of other shareholders they had 100% control. "These two persons controlled the All India Congress Committee. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trending in in 2025: Local network access control [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo They saw that AICC released a Rs 90 crore loan to Associated Journals Limited, or AJL, a Rs 2,000 crore company, the publisher of National Herald newspaper. The purpose was to have Rs 2,000 crore," Raju told the court. Raju claimed Sonia and Rahul Gandhi were responsible for the conduct of business of Young Indian and the fraudulent takeover of properties valued at over Rs 2,000 crore of AJL was with their connivance and consent. The ASG alleged that the shareholding in the venture was just in name and that all the other accused were puppets of the Gandhi family. He added that Sonia and Rahul Gandhi control Congress and wanted to get hold of Rs 2,000 crore instead of the said Rs 92 crore. As per the ED, Congress provided an interest-free loan of Rs 90 crore to AJL, which had assets worth Rs 2,000 crore, for a consideration of just Rs 50 lakh. This debt was allegedly converted into equity in YI's favour. "They deprived AJL's shareholders of their right. YI invested just Rs 50 lakh and got Rs 2,000 crore. YI gained wrongfully and shareholders suffered," he said. The court asked Raju if the shareholders are also witnesses in this case. Calling the matter a little peculiar, the judge asked whether they should not also be made witnesses. "The ED has not investigated the 1,000 shareholders. So will this trial go on without them being witnesses," the court asked. The ASG replied, "The record speaks for itself. This is a classic case of money laundering. The real culprits are these seven persons (including Sonia and Rahul), once you pierce the veil. Today, Sonia and Rahul Gandhi hold almost all shares. They're the beneficial owners of the company."

Delhi High Court dismisses Jacqueline Fernandez plea in money laundering case involving Sukesh Chandrasekhar
New Delhi: In a setback to Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez , Delhi High Court on Thursday dismissed her plea to end criminal proceedings in a Rs 200-crore money laundering case involving Sukesh Chandrasekhar, currently imprisoned for fraud. Justice Anish Dayal dismissed the plea that also sought to quash the chargesheet by the Enforcement Directorate and proceedings pending before the special court under the stringent Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against her and others. A copy of the detailed judgment is awaited. You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi Fernandez had challenged ED's case against her over allegations she received lavish gifts from Chandrasekhar and was part of alleged money laundering. She appeared before ED for questioning in the investigation launched after Delhi Police booked Chandrasekhar for extortion and cheating Aditi Singh, wife of former Ranbaxy promoter Shivinder Singh, of Rs 200 crore. While police investigated Chandrasekhar's activities of alleged extortion and fraud from inside jail, ED named Fernandez as an accused in the money laundering probe. In her defence, the actor contended that if as per ED's claims, money was distributed among other individuals too, then everyone involved, be it a grocery vendor, court officials or lawyers, could be deemed guilty of money laundering. She questioned the premise that any financial transaction involving a criminal automatically constitutes money laundering, suggesting such an interpretation would create undue fear. The actor said that she was an innocent victim of Chandrasekhar's "maliciously targeted attack". "There is absolutely no indication she had any involvement whatsoever in aiding him to launder his purportedly ill-gotten wealth. Hence, she cannot be prosecuted for the offences under sections 3 and 4 of PMLA," her plea said. However, ED opposed any relief, submitting Fernandez continued to enjoy Chandrasekhar's gifts despite being aware of his criminal antecedents. The agency also pointed out a special court took cognisance of the prosecution complaint (chargesheet) and prima facie found a case. The cognisance order was not challenged, ED said, adding there are other ongoing investigations against Chandrasekhar across the country. Chandrasekhar and his wife Leena Paulose, facing proceedings in a money laundering case of ED, were arrested by Delhi Police, which invoked MCOCA. The duo allegedly used hawala routes and created shell companies along with other accused persons to park the money earned as proceeds of the crime.

Probe Agency Arrests West Bengal Man Who Extorted Money By Posing As Its Officer
New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate on Thursday said it has arrested a man from West Bengal who allegedly impersonated as its officer and extorted money from businessmen by threatening them with money laundering investigation or on the pretext of settling an ongoing probe. S K Jinnar Ali was taken into custody after raids were conducted at various locations in Kolkata and Bardhaman on Wednesday. A special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court sent him to ED custody till July 16, the agency said in a statement. The money laundering case stems from an FIR registered by Bidhannagar police station in Kolkata against some people who extorted money from businessmen by portraying themselves as ED officers, it said. "The modus operandi involved identifying certain businessmen and targeting them to extort money. Such businessmen would be contacted by the accused over phone. "The accused also summoned the businessmen to appear in front of the Bidhannagar Police Commissionerate, under the pretense of an official inquiry which, in reality, does not exist," the ED said. To create an illusion of legitimacy, the accused individuals would arrive in a Toyota Fortuner car, which displayed an ED insignia, it said. The ED found that under "repeated" threats of office raids, property seizure and arrest, a businessman was coerced to pay Rs 1.30 crore in cash and Rs 20 lakh in the bank account of an accused. Ali was also "involved" in cheating money from other victims by false assurances of helping in ongoing investigations. In one such instance, he "extorted" Rs 1.5 crore from a victim, the agency said. Two vehicles (Honda Amaze and Hyundai Aura) owned by Ali and his wife were seized during the searches and deposits worth Rs 45.89 lakh lying in his and his wife's bank accounts apart from that in the account of a company named Sparklink Management Service Private Limited have been frozen, it said. The ED said it also seized forged letters in the name of the central agency and other government authorities bearing fabricated seals and forged signatures. Also, multiple lanyards printed with "Government of India" were recovered from Ali's residence. Besides, a letterhead of the Ministry of Home Affairs embossed with the Ashoka Emblem (State Emblem of India) was also seized by the agency sleuths. "Jinnar Ali projected himself as the chairman of an organisation named The National Anti-Trafficking Committee. On its website he claims that it is a national organisation established in 1962 and registered under NITI Aayog, vide no. WB/2018/0203440 Government of India. "The website is designed to resemble an official government domain, thereby misleading the public into believing it is a legitimate government website," the ED said. The agency said people should not fall prey to such fraudsters and check summons issued to them at a link provided on the ED website --
