Rajasthan High Court allows two life convicts to marry inside Jodhpur prison Rajasthan High Court allows two life convicts to marry inside Jodhpur prison Two life convicts married at Jodhpur's Mandore open jail after the Rajasthan High Court allowed the ceremony. The court said consenting prisoners retain the right to marry and such unions aid rehabilitation. Two life convicts got married inside a prison in Jodhpur after the Rajasthan High Court ruled that the right of two consenting adults to marry is an integral part of the fundamental right to life. The wedding took place at the Mandore open jail, where the couple exchanged garlands and took seven pheras in the presence of prison officials, police personnel and guests. The marriage was solemnised after the High Court allowed a plea by one of the convicts, holding that prisoners cannot be deprived of their right to marry merely because they are serving sentences. The court also said such unions support the rehabilitation and reintegration of prisoners into society and further the reformative goals of the criminal justice system. Moolaram Bhati, 33, a resident of Nagaur district, and Seema Ghadse, 31, originally from Mumbai, were married in the jail premises. The ceremony was attended by 21 people, including family members, prison officials, staff and security personnel.

The European Commission opened a full-scale investigation into the deal in May under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation that targets unfair foreign state aid. The Commission was investigating whether JD.com received preferential financing, tax incentives and grants from the Chinese government that may have helped it to offer a higher price for Ceconomy. Advt "We remain confident the transaction supports Europe's broader objectives around innovation and competitiveness. We continue to expect a positive conclusion of the process in the second half of 2026," the company said ahead of the Commission's announcement. The Commission set an October 2 deadline for its decision on whether to clear the deal. The acquisition would allow one of China's largest retailers to expand outside its home market via Ceconomy-owned electronic products retailers MediaMarkt and Saturn.

Prosecutors search Deutsche Bank HQ over tax trades

Prosecutors search Deutsche Bank HQ over tax trades - International - 1 min read Prosecutors search Deutsche Bank HQ over tax trades Germany's Deutsche Bank said Wednesday that prosecutors had searched its headquarters in Frankfurt, with media reports saying the probe is linked to alleged "cum-cum" tax avoidance. Prosecutors in 2022 searched Deutsche Bank offices in Frankfurt and Eschborn in relation to so-called cum-ex cases, treated by authorities as a far more aggressive fraud. Berlin, Jul 22, 2026 -Germany's Deutsche Bank said Wednesday that prosecutors had searched its headquarters in Frankfurt, with media reports saying the probe is linked to alleged "cum-cum" tax avoidance. Cum-cum cases involve investors temporarily transferring ownership of shares to lower tax jurisdictions around dividend day. "We can confirm that prosecutors are carrying out measures in Deutsche Bank's offices," the company said in a statement sent to AFP. The bank said that the case "has to do with activities of Postbank between 2008 and 2010". It said it was "cooperating fully with the authorities" and was being investigated as a "third party". According to reports by Business Insider and Die Welt, the raid is connected to alleged cum-cum cases.
