Enforcement Directorate Says Asset Recovery Does Not End Vijay Mallya's Money Laundering Case
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has informed the Bombay High Court that the recovery of approximately Rs 15,000 crore by banks from Vijay Mallya does not end the ongoing criminal proceedings under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The ED emphasized that these proceedings are separate from civil recovery cases and highlighted Mallya's continued absence from India and failure to appear before the court. The agency maintains that asset recovery does not absolve Mallya of money laundering charges, which remain active despite settled bank dues.
