India sends request to US seeking crucial info in Rs 64 crore Bofors case

印度就64亿卢比博福斯案向美国发出请求，索要关键信息

NEW DELHI: India has sent a judicial request to the United States, seeking crucial information in connection with the Rs 64-crore Bofors case, potentially marking the revival of the probe into the scandal related to the purchase of 155mm field artillery guns from Sweden under the Congress govt led by Rajiv Gandhi in the late 1980s.

The Central Bureau of Investigation sent a letter rogatory, issued by a special court, to the US justice department a few days ago, sources told TOI. The agency has sought case details which Michael Hershman, the head of US-based private detective firm Fairfax, had regarding the kickbacks that Swedish arms manufacturer A B Bofors allegedly paid to bag the order for 400 howitzers from India.

新德里消息：印度已向美国发出司法请求，索要与64亿卢比博福斯案相关的关键信息，这有可能标志着对这起丑闻的调查得以重启。该丑闻与上世纪80年代末拉吉夫·甘地领导的国大党政府从瑞典购买155毫米野战炮一事有关。

消息人士向《印度时报》透露，印度中央调查局几天前向美国司法部发出了一份由特别法庭签发的调查委托书。该机构索要美国费尔法克斯私人侦探公司负责人迈克尔·赫什曼所掌握的有关案件细节，这些细节涉及瑞典武器制造商博福斯公司涉嫌为赢得向印度出售400门榴弹炮的订单而行贿的回扣情况。

In 2017, Hershman had claimed that then PM Rajiv Gandhi was "furious" when he had found a Swiss bank account 'Mont Blanc', where the bribe money from Bofors had allegedly been parked. Hershman had also claimed that the then govt had sabotaged his probe.

The agency had first approached the court in Delhi in October, informing it about their plan to seek details from the US authorities. The move was prompted by Hershman, who shot into prominence in political circles because of his involvement with the Bofors case, agreeing to cooperate with Indian agencies.

2017年，赫什曼曾声称，当时的印度总理拉吉夫·甘地在发现一个名为“万宝龙”的瑞士银行账户时“极为愤怒”，据称博福斯公司的贿款就存入了该账户。赫什曼还称，当时的政府破坏了他的调查。

今年10月，印度中央调查局首次向德里的法院提出申请，告知法院他们计划向美国当局索要相关细节。促使该机构采取这一行动的原因是，因卷入博福斯案而在政治圈声名大噪的赫什曼同意与印度相关机构合作。

Role of Q in Bofors: Questions still linger

A letter rogatory is a formal, written request issued by a court in one country to a court in another country, seeking assistance in gathering evidence or facilitating the probe and prosecution of a criminal case.

The Bofors scam, exposed by Swedish radio, was a big factor in Rajiv Gandhi's defeat in the 1989 elections. Although the Delhi high court quashed the bribery charge against the former PM in 2004, questions related to the scam have lingered. These concern the role of Ottavio Quattrocchi, an Italian businessman who enjoyed formidable clout under the Rajiv Gandhi govt, in the bribery affair, and who was allowed to leave the country for Malaysia when he was under investigation, as well as a letter Madhavsinh Solanki, foreign minister in the then Congress govt, had delivered in 1992 to his Swiss counterpart, asking him to go slow on New Delhi's request for information on the case.

博福斯案中“Q”的角色：疑问仍存

调查委托书是一个国家的法院向另一个国家的法院发出的正式书面请求，旨在寻求在收集证据或推动刑事案件的调查与起诉方面的协助。

博福斯丑闻由瑞典电台曝光，是导致拉吉夫·甘地在1989年选举中落败的一个重要因素。尽管德里高等法院在2004年撤销了对这位前总理的受贿指控，但与这起丑闻相关的疑问依然存在。这些疑问涉及意大利商人奥塔维奥·夸特罗基在这起受贿事件中所扮演的角色——此人在拉吉夫·甘地政府时期权势极大，并且在接受调查期间被允许前往马来西亚；还涉及当时国大党政府的外交部长马达夫辛·索兰基在1992年致信瑞士外交部长，要求对方放缓处理新德里方面关于此案信息的请求一事。

以下是印度时报读者的评论：

Please stop abusing public money. Everybody knows nothing happens to politicians in monetary fraud. 4 scams coal scam all ended in nothing. Lower courts find them guilty and Supreme Court judges( after getting millions) will release them due to insufficient evidence.

请停止滥用公款。大家都知道，政客们搞金钱欺诈案，往往逍遥法外。四起诈骗案，比如煤炭诈骗案，最终都不了了之。下级法院判定他们有罪，而最高法院的法官们在收受数百万钱财后，却会以证据不足为由将他们释放。

User Pujari
The real culprit is the supreme court. Trash this court. Plenty of money will be saved and will do good to the nation.

真正的罪魁祸首是印度最高法院。废除这个法院吧。这样能省下大量钱财，对国家也有好处。

politicians never put their friends in jail...only to hv a hold over each other politically..but never any prosecution..unless out of their hands...that's a politicians code of conduct too... public suffers as the politicians loot..n remain free...but quiet like mayawati, chidi, etc...

政客们从不会把自己的朋友送进监狱，只是为了在政治上相互牵制，但永远不会进行起诉，除非事情脱离了他们的掌控，这也是政客们的行为准则。

政客们掠夺钱财，却逍遥法外，公众却因此受苦，而像玛雅瓦蒂等人却对此默不作声。

不管你是否认同他，特朗普很果断，而且有自己的计划，并正通过马斯克迅速实施。莫迪需要学习，要像特朗普、英迪拉甘地、以色列、巴基斯坦军队、穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼那样强硬。驱逐非法移民。把腐败的黑帮、叛徒尼赫鲁家族关进监狱。把军队调往孟加拉国的印度教、基督教、佛教地区；建立安全区。整顿官僚机构。替换腐败的法官。清除不诚实的选举委员会成员。抓捕罪犯和叛徒。废除反印度教的歧视性法律。现在就要求公正和平等，收回被掠夺的所有土地。让印度再次伟大。

worry about tariff. had 40 years to study and waking up to waste tax payers ways. why not. all govt waking up. turning clock back. back to land lines.

担心关税问题。花了40年时间研究，现在却开始醒悟过来，发现是在浪费纳税人的钱。为什么不呢。所有政府都醒悟过来了。时光倒流。回到使用固定电话的时代。

Narcissism plagues Nehrus (fake Gandhis) and that too for four generations!!! It’s all about power, control and corruption. Quit India. Go to your beloved super secular Pak, or Bangladesh. You have shamelessly passed discriminatory laws (HRCE, POW, WQAF) against Hindus. The only country in the world that does that against its own majority which already suffered 1000 years of persecution. You also have been economic failures. Look S Korea, Singapore, China all surpassed India economically. Shame on you!!!

自恋困扰着尼赫鲁家族，而且已经延续了四代人！

这一切都是关于权力、控制和腐败。离开印度吧。去你们心爱的超级世俗的巴基斯坦或者孟加拉国吧。

你们厚颜无耻地通过了针对印度教徒的歧视性法律。你们是世界上唯一一个针对本国多数群体制定这种法律的国家，而这个多数群体已经遭受了1000年的迫害。你们在经济上也失败了。看看韩国、新加坡、中国，在经济上都超越了印度。真为你们感到羞耻！

Scamgress as usual... Sonia italian enjoying the money in Italy.. buying lands in a valley behind milazzo in scisily...is reality..

一如既往的“诈骗国大党”，意大利人索尼娅在意大利享受着钱财，在西西里岛米拉佐后面的山谷里购置土地，这都是事实。

Gagan
CON GRESS, good riddance forever. Sonia Maino, Raul Vinci, Priyanka & Robert are the leftovers in India of this Italian Mafia.

永远摆脱国大党吧。索尼娅·梅诺、劳尔·温奇、普里扬卡和罗伯特是这个意大利黑帮在印度的残余势力。

Vijay Duggal
So cat is outside the bag. Wherever & whatever you dig of con grass times, you would only find corruption:: it is time rajiv gandhi (in befitting small case) be formally charged post demise & still alive maino iis charged for Q connections & facilitator! For bird brain raga, pack the bags & quit India alongwith priyanka for good; and remaining wadra to spend time in jail for his real estate related crimes! Phinito for con grass!

所以真相大白了。无论你在国大党时期的哪个方面进行调查，你只会发现腐败。现在是时候在拉吉夫·甘地去世后对他（以合适的小案子为由）正式提出指控，并且对还活着的梅诺以与“Q”有联系及协助者的罪名进行指控了！对于愚蠢的拉胡尔，收拾包袱，和普里扬卡一起永远离开印度；而剩下的瓦德拉则要因他的房地产相关罪行入狱服刑！国大党完蛋了！

Dr Vidyadhar Yellutla
PV Narassimha Rao refused to close Bofors, so his decent funeral in capital was denied, Manmohan Singh closed Bofors and so for the slave Antanio Maino demanded funeral at Delhi. Sonia Antanio Maino has tremendous faith on Indians that they will pay Gandhi tax for them for ever.

P·V·纳拉辛哈·拉奥拒绝了结博福斯案，所以他未能在首都举行体面的葬礼；曼莫汉·辛格了结了博福斯案，于是作为索尼娅的奴仆的安东尼奥·梅诺要求在德里举行葬礼。索尼娅·安东尼奥·梅诺坚信印度人会永远为他们缴纳“甘地税”。

Just political showmanship. The caged parrot CBI has not gotten enough limelight in the last decade because the ED was Modi's favorite tool. Now the SC has started reigning in the ED, so Modi is back to the CBI now.

这只是政治作秀而已。在过去十年里，被关在笼子里的“鹦鹉”中央调查局（CBI）没有得到足够的关注，因为执法局（ED）曾是莫迪最喜欢用的工具。现在最高法院开始约束执法局，所以莫迪现在又开始重用中央调查局了。
