ED hands over Rs 22,000 crore worth of PMLA-attached properties to legitimate Claimants

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has handed over Rs. 22,000 crore worth of properties attached under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to legitimate claimants. These properties were seized as part of investigations into illegal activities such as financial frauds and money laundering. The move follows the successful resolution of cases where the rightful owners of the properties were established, and the ED has now returned the assets. This development highlights the ED's commitment to protecting legitimate property owners while maintaining stringent enforcement against money laundering and financial crimes.
