ED Asset Freeze & PMLA Probe: India’s Enforcement Directorate has frozen three HDFC Bank accounts of the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC/AITC) holding ₹440.42 crore, after searches tied to the Carewell aviation group. The ED says about ₹160 crore was routed from party accounts to Carewell Aviation India and related entities between April 2023 and June 2026, with further transfers used to buy an Embraer Legacy 600 aircraft and an Agusta 109 helicopter, which were then allegedly leased back to the party; it also cites a Cayman Islands-based entity providing a $1.7m unsecured loan for the helicopter. Political Pushback: TMC called the move politically motivated and says its funds and donations were fully disclosed to India’s Election Commission and tax authorities. Cayman Governance: Gloria McField-Nixon was sworn in as Cayman’s deputy governor and head of the civil service, with Governor Owen praising her experience in public service and HR reform. Local Business & Energy Costs: OfReg cleared CUC to raise electricity charges from 1 June, with the regulator’s decision expected to add roughly $50 to the average summer bill on top of fuel-cost pressures. Professional Services: EY named Bill Bailey as regional managing partner for the Bahamas/Bermuda/BVI/Cayman region from Oct 1, and Craig Redcliffe as Bermuda country managing partner from July 1. Education Support: Cayman’s Department of Education Services expanded its Summer School Programme to Years 1–3 (running 7–24 July) to help around 725 students catch up in English and maths. Community & Talent: UCCI marked its 2026 commencement with 267 graduates, including its first BSc Primary Education cohort.
