Under this area of practice, AKM Global is handling cases involving clients facing actions from different Law enforcement agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate, CBI, Income Tax (under the Income-tax Act, Black Money Act, Benami Law), Customs and GST, Serious Fraud Investigation Office etc which can be attributable to inter-agency intelligence sharing and coordination.
