Robert Vadra, the brother-in-law of Congress president Rahul Gandhi, on Friday appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for the fifth time in connection with a money-laundering case that is linked to his alleged purchase of illegal assets abroad, officials said.

Vadra reached the agency's office at Jamnagar House in central Delhi shortly before 11 am, they said.

Officials said the agency would confront Vadra with documents and statements of other accused being investigated in the case. His statement would be recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

During the last session on February 20, the businessman had told the investigating officer (IO) that he was not well and hence, the recording of his statement was discontinued, the officials had said.

The ED case against Vadra relates to allegations of money laundering in the alleged 'benami' purchase of a London-based property, 12, Bryanston Square, that was worth 1.9 million pounds.

The agency had told the court that it had received information about various properties in London that belonged to Vadra. These include two houses -- one worth 5 million pounds and the other valued at 4 million pounds -- six flats and other assets.

Vadra has denied the allegation of possessing illegal foreign assets and termed it a political witch-hunt against him. He has said he is being 'hounded and harassed' to serve political ends.
