<h1>Congress MP Challenges Money Laundering Charges, Seeks Deferral While Arguing Interconnected Predicate Offence Proceedings Must Resolve First</h1> A legal dispute arose in Delhi High Court where the Enforcement Directorate opposed a plea by a Congress MP to defer charges in money laundering cases. The MP argued that charges in related scheduled offences should be resolved first, but the ED contended that money laundering cases are independent and can proceed. The court heard arguments about the potential linkage between predicate offences and money laundering proceedings, with the ED maintaining that trials can continue unless the accused is fully absolved in the original case.
