The absence of the petitioner's name in the FIR, and her conviction only for abetment under Section 109 of the Indian Penal Code, did not bar proceedings under the Act. The charge was also not defeated by retrospectivity or double jeopardy, because money laundering was treated as a continuing offence and the proceeding was distinct from prosecution under the Penal Code or the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. en-us Thu, 23 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 12 Apr 2023 08:24:13 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=436385 Money-laundering prosecution under the Prevention of Money-Laundering Act, 2002 can proceed independently of the predicate offence where there is prima facie material showing concealment, possession, acquisition, use or projection of proceeds of crime.
