New Delhi, July 11: CBI has asked the government to
take steps to get a letter Rogatory issued for Britain to
freeze a bank account of Italian businessman Ottavio
Quattrocchi in connection with the Rs 64 crore Bofors pay-offs
case.
The premier investigating agency has also alerted the
Interpol to initiate the seizure procedure for the bank
account in London where Quattrocchi is alleged to have
deposited large portions of the bribe amount, CBI sources said
here.
The Interpol had recently informed CBI of the London Bank
account, they said but did not disclose details of the amount
in the account or in which bank it had been opened and when.
The London police has sought a letter Rogatory to freeze
the account and had been in touch with the CBI as well as the
Indian High Commission on the matter, the sources said.
They said the account could contain the money which, the
investigators believed, had been siphoned off from the Rs
1,437 crore gun deal.
