ED to focus on checking money laundering through online gaming following govt ban

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has decided to initiate “focused strategies” to investigate financial crimes arising from the recent Union government ban on real-money online gaming.

The federal agency will also ensure the timely filing of charge sheets and pursue the “fast tracking” of trials in money laundering cases.

These issues were discussed during the 32nd quarterly conference of all zonal officers, comprising supervisory heads of the agency, held in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, from September 12 to 13.
