Prevention of Money Laundering Act prosecutions: extradition not requested for listed absconding persons, as bilateral treaty limits apply Prosecutions under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act have been initiated against fifty-three named absconding persons with a prosecution complaint filed; no extradition requests in respect of these PMLA cases have been received by the Ministry of External Affairs. The government notes that the India-UK Mutual Legal Assistance arrangement does not cover bringing back persons under investigation, while a separate extradition request for offences under the penal code and anti-corruption law was advanced under the bilateral extradition treaty for one individual.
