<h1>Senior advocate calls ED's money laundering case against Congress leaders 'truly strange' and unprecedented</h1> A senior advocate representing a Congress leader argued in court that the Enforcement Directorate's case regarding the publication company was 'truly strange' and unprecedented, describing it as an alleged money laundering case without property involvement. The ED accused multiple Congress leaders and associates of conspiracy and money laundering over fraudulent takeover of properties worth over Rs 2,000 crore belonging to the company that published a newspaper. The ED alleges the accused held majority shares in a company that fraudulently acquired assets in exchange for a Rs 90 crore loan. The defense argued the exercise aimed to make the publishing company debt-free through legitimate means.
