      Question

      Under the PMLA, the Special Court takes cognizance of

      the offence of money laundering on a complaint made by whom?
      A The victim only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B An authority authorised by the Central Government (such as the ED) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C SEBI Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Any private person Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E The RBI Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, the Special Court takes cognizance of the offence of money laundering upon a complaint made by the Director of Enforcement or any officer of the Central Government authorised in this behalf, rather than on a police report. This reflects the specialised nature of money laundering investigation by the Enforcement Directorate. The requirement that cognizance be taken on such a complaint channels prosecution through the designated enforcement authority under the Act.
