India’s CBI Issues Judicial Request To Bermuda
India’s Central Bureau Of Investigation [CBI] has issued judicial requests to four countries, including Bermuda, seeking details of a money trail in a deal in which former Indian Telecom Minister Dayanidhi Maran is an accused.
The Times of India reports that, “The Letters Rogatory (LRs) to the UK, Bermuda, Malaysia and Mauritius were issued by a Patiala House court last week in the case in which the agency has alleged Maran had received Rs 547 crore as kickbacks from Malaysian telecom company Maxis, sources said.
“These allegations have been refuted by Maran. An email seeking Maxis’s comment remained unanswered. The LRs are an attempt by the agency to get details of financial transactions from these four countries which would help in deciphering the money trail involved in the case, the sources said.
“The CBI probe has reached the shores of Caribbean island Bermuda and the United Kingdom from where the money was allegedly routed to Indian companies.”
