ED takes National Herald money laundering case to High Court
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) isn't backing down in the National Herald case.
After a trial court threw out its money laundering complaint against Congress leaders Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, the ED has now appealed to the Delhi High Court, hoping for a different outcome under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
What's this case about, anyway?
At the heart of it: claims that Sonia and Rahul Gandhi's company, Young Indian, took over Associated Journals Limited (AJL)—which owns valuable property—using questionable methods.
The court is letting the ED keep investigating but hasn't given the accused access to key documents like the FIR.
The whole thing started back in 2012 when BJP leader Subramanian Swamy raised concerns about how AJL's assets (worth over ₹2,000 crore) changed hands.
