The Delhi High Court will hear a plea from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday regarding its chargesheet against Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in a money laundering case associated with the National Herald newspaper. The ED's allegations suggest that the Gandhis, along with others, conspired to fraudulently acquire properties worth approximately ₹2,000 crore (roughly $240 million USD) belonging to Associated Journals Limited (AJL), the publisher of the National Herald. The ED claims that the Gandhis hold 76% of the shares in Young Indian, which allegedly usurped AJL's assets in exchange for a ₹90 crore loan. The trial court had previously refused to take cognizance of the ED's complaint, stating that it was not based on a First Information Report (FIR), which the ED contests. The outcome of this hearing could significantly impact the ongoing legal proceedings against the Gandhis and others involved in this high-profile case.
