ED Protests DVAC Closure of ₹27.90 Crore Bribery Case Against Former Minister Vaithilingam
The central agency says money laundering investigation conducted by it had revealed proceeds of crime to the tune of ₹100 crore and so the State agency must not be allowed to close the corruption case
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a protest petition challenging the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption's (DVAC) move to close a corruption case involving former Minister Vaithilingam. The case concerns allegations of bribery amounting to ₹27.90 crore.
The ED argues that its own money laundering investigation uncovered proceeds of crime totaling ₹100 crore. Therefore, the central agency contends that the state agency should not be permitted to drop the corruption charges.
This action highlights a jurisdictional dispute between central and state anti-corruption agencies and ensures continued scrutiny of significant alleged financial impropriety.
