<h1>ED raids Tamil Nadu minister and son under PMLA for alleged Rs 2.1 crore disproportionate assets</h1> The Enforcement Directorate conducted searches at multiple locations linked to a Tamil Nadu minister and his son under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, investigating allegations of money laundering. The inquiry follows a Madras High Court directive to frame charges in a disproportionate assets case involving approximately Rs 2.1 crore, allegedly accumulated between 2006 and 2010 by the minister and his family members beyond their known income sources. This directive overturned a prior special court order that had discharged the accused. The court also mandated a day-to-day trial to be completed within six months. Political leaders have criticized the investigation as politically motivated, asserting it targets opposition figures.
