Senior Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi have been charged with criminal conspiracy in the National Herald money laundering case. The charges are part of a fresh First Information Report (FIR) filed against six people, including the Gandhis by the Economic Offences Wing of the Delhi Police.
The FIR also names Sam Pitroda and three other individuals, along with three companies - Associated Journals Limited (AJL), Young Indian, and Dotex Merchandise Private Limited. It alleges a criminal conspiracy to "fraudulently take over the Associated Journals Limited (AJL)", the parent company of the now-defunct National Herald newspaper.
