Pmla Law
Enforcement Directorate (ED)
The government agency responsible for investigating and prosecuting offences under money laundering and foreign exchange law.
The ED has significant powers under money laundering law, including provisional attachment of property, search and seizure, and arrest, and operates alongside (but independently of) the police and CBI investigating the underlying predicate offence.
ED proceedings, particularly bail applications in money laundering cases, are governed by additional, stricter conditions compared to ordinary criminal cases.
