Supreme Court: Money laundering threatens nation’s financial system
Earlier this week, the Supreme Court of India (Bharat) denied bail to a person involved in a money laundering case. Economic offenses, such as money laundering, can harm the country’s financial health. Complex plans and large amounts of public money are involved in these crimes.
According to the court, technology and artificial intelligence make it difficult for investigators to understand these crimes. The court said that investigators should be careful not to falsely accuse innocent people.
Even though the person seeking bail argued the investigation was complete, the court disagreed, saying there was enough evidence of his involvement. The court stated that economic offenses require a special approach when considering bail.
