Court Delays Decision in National Herald Money Laundering Case

A Delhi court postponed the cognisance order regarding the ED chargesheet in the National Herald case against Congress leaders. The Gandhis, with others, are accused of conspiracy and money laundering to acquire AJL properties. The matter will be reconsidered on December 16.

A Delhi court has delayed its decision on whether to recognize the Directorate of Enforcement's (ED) chargesheet in the National Herald case, initially scheduled for announcement on Saturday.

Special Judge Vishal Gogne decided to push the decision to December 16. The charges involve Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and several others accused of conspiracy and money laundering activities.

The case claims these leaders acquired properties worth approximately Rs 2,000 crore from Associated Journals Limited, publishers of the National Herald. The ED alleges a fraudulent exchange of a Rs 90 crore loan led to this acquisition.
