The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has restituted assets worth approximately $5.6 billion (Rs52,329 crore) to victims of money laundering, agency chief Rahul Navin said.
The recoveries were made in the last two years, according to an ED statement.
The ED official made the remarks at the GlobE Network steering committee meeting in Delhi.
The platform enables direct, practitioner-level cooperation among member agencies for the investigation, prosecution, and recovery of proceeds of corruption.
Navin highlighted the complementary roles of India’s two member agencies: the CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) and the ED.
Some of the cases in which ED has restored the proceeds of crime to the banks or investors include those against fugitive liquor baron Vijay Mallya, diamantaires Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi.
Between 2014 and 2025, ED has registered 6,508 cases under PMLA and arrested 1,135 individuals.
