**New Delhi, May 2, 2025** – A Delhi court issued notices to Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi on Friday in connection with the National Herald money laundering case. Special Judge Vishal Gogne emphasized the importance of their right to be heard, scheduling the next hearing for May 8th.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) initiated its investigation in 2021, following a 2014 private complaint filed by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy. The complaint alleges a criminal conspiracy involving money laundering related to the alleged fraudulent takeover of Associated Journals Limited (AJL) properties valued at over ₹2,000 crore. The ED’s chargesheet names Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, along with other Congress leaders (deceased Motilal Vora and Oscar Fernandes), Sam Pitroda, and others, alleging their involvement in the scheme. Both Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, who hold 38% shares each in Young Indian, a company central to the allegations, were previously questioned by the ED. The court’s decision to issue notices signifies a significant development in this long-running case.
