CJI Surya Kant Highlights Global Money Laundering Recovery Gap
Chief Justice Surya Kant spoke about the worldwide problem of money laundering.
Money laundering means handling wealth in ways that hide where it came from.
He said that very little of this wealth is actually recovered or corrected.
He compared it to 100 parts of money, where only one part is put right.
The other 99 parts are mostly mentioned in speeches and reports.
He shared this comparison at a gathering in Cambridge.
He said the problem was an important reason people had gathered that week.
His message was that discussing the problem is not enough and more of it must be addressed.
