NEW DELHI: A Delhi court on Monday reserved its order on whether to take cognisance of the Enforcement Directorate 's (ED) prosecution complaint against Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi , Rahul Gandhi , and others in the high-profile National Herald money laundering case.
The court has listed the matter for order on July 29.
The ED had, earlier, described the case as a "classic example of money laundering," accusing top Congress leaders of criminal conspiracy and financial misconduct involving over Rs 2,000 crore.
At the center of the allegations is Young Indian Pvt Ltd , a company in which Sonia and Rahul Gandhi jointly held a 76 percent stake. According to the ED, this entity was used to fraudulently take control of the assets of Associated Journals Ltd (AJL), which published the National Herald newspaper.
The ED’s complaint, as reported by new agency PTI, names Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, the late Congress leaders Motilal Vora and Oscar Fernandes, as well as Sam Pitroda, Suman Dubey, and the company Young Indian, among others. It claims that AJL’s properties, valued at over Rs 2,000 crore, were transferred to Young Indian in exchange for a questionable Rs 90 crore loan.
Others named in the chargesheet include Sunil Bhandari and Dotex Merchandise Pvt Ltd.
