ED names Robert Vadra in chargesheet filed over money laundering case

Robert Vadra, the spouse of Congresswoman Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, was named by the Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday in a chargesheet filed concerning a money laundering case. According to the probe agency, Robert Vadra “renovated and stayed” at a London property, which is related to the “proceeds of crime” in the money laundering case involving defense dealer and fugitive Sanjay Bhandari, who is based in London.

After the Income Tax authorities filed a complaint against Sanjay Bhandari under the Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act, 2015, the Enforcement Directorate began its investigation.

Although the agency has been actively investigating Bhandari’s alleged connections to Robert Vadra since 2018, this is the first time Vadra has been mentioned by the probe agency.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the Enforcement Directorate said that it had submitted a new charge sheet in this case against UK national Sumit Chadha and UAE-based NRI businessman C C, also known as Cheruvathur Chakutty Thampi.

According to the Enforcement Directorate, Sanjay Bhandari possessed several undisclosed foreign assets and income, including houses at no. 12 Bryanston Square and 6 Grosvenor Hill Court in London, as a result of their investigation. The investigative body referred to these assests as “proceeds of crime.”

As per the chargesheet, “CC Thampi and Sumit Chadha have been found to be involved in the concealment and use of these Proceeds of Crime.”

It further states, “Robert Vadra not only renovated the aforesaid property at 12 Bryanston Square, London through Sumit Chadha but also stayed in the same.”

The financial probe agency went on to state that Thampi is a “close associate” of Robert Vadra as a revealed by investigation.

Additionally, according to the Enforcement Directorate, CC Thampi and Robert Vadra “purchased huge chunks of land at Faridabad and had financial transactions with each other.”
