National Herald laundering case: ED files charges in court against Sonia and Rahul
The Political and Business Daily
|April 16, 2025
TAKING a big step against political heavyweights, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a prosecution complaint in a Special Delhi court against Congress MPs Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi in the alleged National Herald or Associated Journals Limited (AJL) money laundering case, a lawyer said on Tuesday.
-
The Special Court has fixed April 25 for hearing arguments on taking cognisance of the prosecution complaint. Others named in the chargesheet include Congress Overseas Chief Sam Pitroda, SumanDubey, and others.
The fresh trouble for Congress-controlled AJL comes close to the ED serving notices to registrars of property in Delhi, Mumbai and Lucknow to take possession of attached properties worth Rs 661 crore.
These properties were attached after the investigation revealed signification generation, possession and use of proceeds of crime to the tune of Rs 988 crore.
