Money‑Laundering Probe and Arrest Warrants Lifted as Deuba Lands in Kathmandu

Deuba’s flight back to Nepal coincides with the winding down of a prolonged money‑laundering investigation. Nepali authorities had frozen his assets and bank accounts after an Interpol red‑corner notice request was rejected. Arrest warrants issued at the behest of the Money Laundering Investigation Department were annulled by the Supreme Court on May 25, allowing the former prime minister to travel without legal hindrance. The case remains under scrutiny, but the dropping of the warrants cleared the way for his public re‑appearance.
