Robert Vadra, the controversial son-in-law of interim Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, on Saturday moved a Delhi court, seeking its permission to travel abroad for medical treatment and business purposes, PTI reported.
Vadra is facing probe under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, following allegations of money laundering related to purchase of a property in London at 12, Bryanston Square, worth 1.9 million pounds.
Robert Vadra has been under the radar of investigating agencies in the past few years. He has been quizzed on multiple occasions in the money-laundering case
Senior advocate K T S Tulsi, appearing for Robert Vadra, told Special Judge Arvind Kumar that his client wanted to travel to Spain for two weeks from December 9.
Special Judge Arvind Kumar directed the ED to file a reply by December 9, when the court will hear the matter, after the agency sought time to file its response.
In June, the court allowed Vadra to travel to the US and the Netherlands for six weeks on account of health reasons.
