After not appearing on 10 June, he was asked to appear on Tuesday (June 17). Sources close to Vadra said that they have already told the UAE and Britain’s travel plan agency for this week and will join the investigation after coming back to India.
Robert Vadra, a businessman husband of Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, did not appear before the Enforcement Directorate in the money laundering case related to British -based arms advisor Sanjay Bhandari. Official sources gave this information on Tuesday. After not appearing on 10 June, he was asked to appear on Tuesday (June 17). Sources close to Vadra said that they have already told the UAE and Britain’s travel plan agency for this week and will join the investigation after coming back to India.
He postponed the summons issued on June 10, saying that he had flu -like symptoms on 9 June and had conducted a Kovid test according to the protocol. His lawyer then said that Vadra had no intention of avoiding summons and he is ready to appear before the ED before or after traveling abroad at the end of this month. It is believed that the agency is calling Vadra to record its statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and then to file a charge sheet in the case.
The federal investigative agency questioned the businessman for three consecutive days in April in a separate money laundering case in a 2008 land deal in Haryana. He is being investigated by the ED in three money laundering cases. 63 -year -old Bhandari fled to London soon after the Income Tax Department raided Delhi in 2016. Earlier this month, a UK court rejected the application filed to seek permission to appeal to the Supreme Court of the UK against the acquittal of Bhandari in the extradition case by the Government of India, almost over the possibility of bringing him to the country to face the law.
