flag India’s top court rules bribe money is illegal proceeds under anti-corruption law, upholding arrest of former official.

flag The Bombay High Court ruled that accepting a bribe constitutes acquiring proceeds of crime under India’s PMLA, upholding the Enforcement Directorate’s arrest of Y Shiva Reddy, a former municipal official. flag The court found that bribe money qualifies as illicit proceeds regardless of how it was used, affirming the ED’s investigation into Reddy’s alleged role in illegal construction on government land between 2019 and 2023. flag Over Rs 8.23 crore in cash and Rs 23.28 crore in jewellery were recovered from his residences, and the court deemed the ED’s actions lawful, with searches in June 2025 and an FIR filed in August 2025 following a probe launched in February 2025. flag The court concluded there was sufficient evidence for arrest and remand, rejecting Reddy’s challenge and affirming that public officials who take bribes are accountable for the proceeds of their misconduct.
