Money laundering crime worse than murder: SV Raju
Additional Solicitor General SV Raju said during the hearing in the court, the criminals should be arrested and put in jail. He said, the crime of money laundering is worse than murder, because murder is done in passion, but money laundering is done in cold blood. He further said, I can murder, rape, but tell the police… no, no, don’t arrest me. Elections are near. Any political leader will come and say, we will get relaxation because elections are near. This is absolutely fake. This way we can’t arrest anyone because elections are near? What kind of law are we making?
ED has many evidences of liquor scam
ASG SV Raju, appearing for the Enforcement Directorate, said all major payments by AAP were made in cash. He said, ED has WhatsApp chats and statements of hawala operators, we also have income tax data.
In the High Court, ED called Arvind Kejriwal the ‘kingpin’ of the liquor scam.
The ED on Tuesday told the Delhi High Court that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is the “mastermind” and “conspirator” of the “excise scam” and based on the material available with it, it has reasons to believe that he is guilty of the crime of money laundering. Opposing the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader’s plea challenging his arrest by the agency in a money laundering case linked to the ‘scam’, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) said political parties, which are ‘major beneficiaries’ of the proceeds of crime Tha, has committed the crime through Kejriwal. ED said, Chief Minister of National Capital Territory of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal is the mastermind and main conspirator of the Delhi Excise scam in connivance with Delhi government ministers, AAP leaders and other persons. Arvind Kejriwal was directly involved in making the Excise Policy 2021-22. ED said, this policy was drafted keeping in mind the benefits given to ‘South Group’ and it was made with the connivance of Vijay Nair, Manish Sisodia and representative members of ‘South Group’. ED said that AAP has committed the crime of money laundering through Kejriwal and thus this crime falls under the ambit of Section 70 of PMLA, 2002.
