Case Laws Money Laundering HC

Money Laundering - proceeds of crime - conspiracy - provisional attachment of assets/properties of the petitioner - it is an admitted fact that there is no finding and it has not been identified that movable or immovable property linked directly with proceeds of crime but the same could not be done by the authority concerned. The material and reason has also not been disclosed so far as alienation of the property in question is concerned. There is no doubt that the authority is having the power to attach the property, but that power is required to be exercised in terms of the statute, which is lacking in the case in hand. - HC
