CJI Surya Kant Highlights Global Money Laundering Scale and Judicial Responses
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant highlighted the vast scale of global money laundering, noting it could buy a modest laptop for every person on Earth annually, yet less than 1% of illicit wealth is recovered. Speaking at the 43rd International Symposium on Economic Crime, he emphasized the need for stronger institutional mechanisms focused on asset recovery and victim relief. The CJI also praised the Indian judiciary's proactive response to emerging frauds, citing legal frameworks like the Prevention of Money Laundering Act and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code.
