New Delhi, Feb. 23 -- Enforcement Directorate (ED) director Rahul Navin has asked all units of the agency to exercise "caution, fairness and accountability" while conducting money laundering investigations. The ED chief asked his men to ensure that summons and other statutory notices are issued "judiciously", based on "clear necessity and proper application of mind". The directions were issued at the three-day 34th quarterly conference of zonal officers of ED, held from February 19 to 21, in Guwahati, which was chaired by Navin and attended by all senior officers, including special directors, joint directors, additional and deputy directors of the agency. "Discussions stressed that the focus must be on meaningful achievement of targets, logical conclusion of investigations, timely filing of prosecution complaints, and ensuring that attachments and penalties are legally sustainable and effectively realised," ED said in a statement. "The conference emphasised that with significant statutory powers available under PMLA (prevention of money laundering act) comes a corresponding responsibility to exercise them with caution, fairness and accountability. It was advised that officers must remain mindful of the impact of enforcement actions and ensure that summons and other statutory notices are issued judiciously, based on clear necessity and proper application of mind," it added. ED said it has set a target of filing 500 prosecution complaints in the current financial year....
