In its mutual evaluation report released on Thursday, the money laundering and terror financing watchdog said India must increase conviction-based confiscations.

The report notes that the Enforcement Directorate has made non-conviction based seizures to the tune of ₹16,497 crore from FY19 to FY23, while confiscations based on convictions were worth ₹39 crore. During the five-year period, the ED started 4,163 investigations, of which 28 cases ended in conviction. In 132 cases, the ED decided to not probe further.
