ED files prosecution complaint against Robert Vadra in money laundering case; several others named

New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a prosecution complaint (chargesheet) under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against businessman Robert Vadra, husband of Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, in a high-profile money laundering case.

According to sources, several other individuals and companies have also been named as accused in the case alongside Robert Vadra. The ED’s investigation has revealed alleged violations of money laundering laws in the acquisition of illegal properties abroad.

The agency has accused Vadra and some of his associates of illegally purchasing a property located in London, reportedly worth several crores of rupees. During the investigation, the ED gathered evidence related to the transaction and fund transfers associated with this property.

Over the past few years, the ED has questioned Robert Vadra multiple times and examined documents related to companies linked to him. With the investigation now concluded, the agency has submitted its chargesheet to the court, paving the way for further legal proceedings.

Meanwhile, the Congress party has condemned the ED’s move, calling it political vendetta. The party alleged that the Modi government is targeting opposition leaders and that this action is an attempt to weaken the Congress ahead of the upcoming elections.

The court will now review the chargesheet to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to initiate a trial against the accused. A hearing date is expected to be set in the coming days.
