The ED urged a Delhi court to acknowledge its chargesheet in the National Herald case. The ED claims Sonia and Rahul Gandhi benefited from acquiring Young Indian, controlling assets of AJL
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday pressed a Delhi court to take cognisance of its chargesheet in the National Herald case, asserting that the matter represents a textbook instance of money laundering involving all the accused. The arguments were presented before special judge Vishal Gogne by Additional Solicitor General (ASG) S V Raju.
Continuing his submissions on the chargesheet’s cognisance, ASG Raju contended that Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi emerged as the beneficial owners of Young Indian after obtaining complete control following the demise of the other shareholders. “These two persons controlled the All India Congress Committee (AICC). They saw that AICC released a Rs 90 crore loan (to Associated Journals Limited or AJL, a Rs 2,000 crore company, the publisher of the National Herald newspaper). The purpose…target was to have Rs 2,000 crore,” Raju argued.
