Black money: Hasan Ali's accountant's residence raided

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday conducted raids at the residence of Hasan Ali's chartered accountant in Pune. Sunil Shinde has been Hasan Ali's accountant since 2007.
Hasan Ali is believed to have 8 billion dollars in black money in foreign bank accounts. The Supreme Court had last week cancelled his bail. He is currently in ED's custody. The court had earlier suggested that Mr Ali be tried on terror charges because his activities seemed to involve a threat to "national security."
Mr Ali was arrested earlier this month and moved to Mumbai from Pune, where he is known for his lavish cars, homes, horses and parties.
He has been asked to pay Rs. 70,000 crore as a penalty for tax evasion. His lawyer claims that Mr Ali is innocent of all the charges against him
The Supreme Court has referred repeatedly to the government's inaction against Mr Ali in the context of a case that it is hearing on black money. The Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by former Law Minister Ram Jethmalani among others asks the government to recover crores of unaccounted-for money that has been stashed in foreign banks by Indians
