New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate has, for the first time, mentioned Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi in a money laundering case linked to NRI businessman CC Thampi. This case, connected to fugitive arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari, involves allegations of money laundering, violations of foreign exchange laws, and breaches of the Official Secrets Act.
The ED previously named Priyanka’s husband, Robert Vadra, in earlier charge sheets related to the same case. The ED claims that Vadra and Thampi share a “long and substantial” relationship with common business interests. Bhandari fled to the UK in 2016, and individuals implicated in facilitating his actions include Thampi and British national Sumit Chadha.
