Nawab Malik Faces Charges in High-Profile Money Laundering Case

Former Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik has been charged in a money laundering case linked to the Dawood Ibrahim gang. The charges, framed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, involve activities related to Malik's and Dawood gang's firms. Proceedings are set to continue in December.

On Tuesday, a special court framed charges against former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Nawab Malik in a high-profile money laundering case associated with the Dawood Ibrahim gang, laying the groundwork for the trial to commence.

The charges, framed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, relate to the alleged involvement of Malik and Dawood gang member Sardar Khan in laundering illegally acquired property through firms owned by their families. The enforcement case originates from a First Information Report filed by the NIA.

Despite defense and prosecution requests for an adjournment pending a Bombay High Court PETITION, the special judge proceeded with the charges. The case will resume on December 19, with Malik currently on medical bail from the Supreme Court.
