<h1>India Enacts Fugitive Economic Offenders Ordinance 2018 to Seize Assets of Offenders Evading Justice Abroad.</h1> The Fugitive Economic Offenders Ordinance, 2018, has been enacted in India following the President's assent. This law empowers authorities to attach and confiscate assets linked to economic offenders who evade legal proceedings by staying outside India. It targets offenders involved in crimes valued at Rs. 100 crore or more. The Ordinance allows a Special Court to declare individuals as fugitive economic offenders, enabling asset confiscation and barring them from defending civil claims. This measure aims to reinforce the rule of law, improve financial recoveries for banks, and deter economic crimes, without incurring additional costs, by utilizing existing legal infrastructure.
