A Delhi court on Friday allowed Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, to travel abroad for business purposes.
Special judge Arvind Kumar granted permission to Vadra to travel to Spain from September 21 to October 8.
Vadra is facing allegations of money laundering in the purchase of a London-based property, located at 12, Bryanston Square and worth 1.9 million pounds.

On Thursday, the Enforcement Directorate told the court that there were likelihood that if allowed to go, Vadra may try to influence the witnesses and destroy the evidence in the case. The ED's submission was, however, opposed by Vadra's counsel and senior advocate K.T.S. Tulsi, who said that the agency's allegations were unfounded and that the accused will return.
The court had in June allowed Vadra to travel to the US and Netherlands for six weeks on account of health reasons. It, however, had not allowed Vadra to go to the UK.
