Thu May 01 06:46:33 UTC 2025: ## Over 1700 Money Laundering Cases Await Trial in India
**New Delhi, May 1, 2025** – The Enforcement Directorate (ED) currently has over 1700 money laundering cases under trial, according to ED Director Rahul Navin. Speaking at an ED Day event commemorating the agency’s 69th anniversary, Navin attributed the delays to systemic issues within the country’s justice system.
Despite the backlog, Navin highlighted a 93.6% conviction rate for the ED, based on 47 concluded cases resulting in only three acquittals. He acknowledged the pending investigations and pledged to expedite the filing of chargesheets in these cases using advanced technology and forensic techniques.
The ED, established in 1956, enforces the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act (FEOA), and civil provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA).
