AJL used to publish the National Herald Newspaper established by former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. Raju said that there was a conspiracy to make Young Indian, with 76% shares of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, to grab assets worth Rs 2,000 crore for a loan of Rs 90 crore taken from Congress. SG SV Raju said that Young Indian had announced that Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi were beneficial owners. The ASG said that Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Suman Dubey, Sam Pitroda were the leading managerial workers in Young Indian.
ASG SV Raju argued that AJL, a company with assets worth Rs 2000 crore, was acquired for a loan of Rs 90 crore. This is a fraud. It was not a real transaction. The AJL was acquired by the Congress, not by the Congress. He said that it was a conspiracy. The ASG said that the Congress neither took interest nor bail. A loan of Rs 90 crore was sold for Rs 50 lakh.
The ED said that on the instructions of senior Congress leaders, AJL was also given advertisement money. Whatever income earned from this fake company is crime. During the last hearing on 21 May, the ED had said that Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi had enjoyed the “income of crime” of Rs 142 crore involved in the alleged National Herald Money Laundering case.
