Without Car but named in Maruti Scandal

“I am without car and without specific qualification but I am able to be Technical director of Maruti. Yes I have connection with London, Switzerland and Italy. Who are you to know all these?”

A commission of inquiry headed by justice A C Gupta, which probed the
Maruti scandal and submitted its report in 1978, concluded: "It was a fact known to all concerned that Shrimati Sonia Gandhi was a foreign national. In view of the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, 1973, which came into force on January 1, 1974, she could neither hold shares of any Indian company nor hold any office of profit in such company from the date the act came into force without the prior approval of the Reserve Bank of India. Ultimately, she tendered her resignation on January 21, 1975. It is surprising that Shrimati Sonia Gandhi who did not have any technical qualification should be appointed managing director of a technical company. Quite a large sum of money was paid to her on account of her salary and perquisites during the period she remained the managing director of the company".

The Gupta commission report further recorded: “A Banerjee, income-tax officer, disallowed part of the remuneration paid to Shrimati Sonia Gandhi as excessive ‘because she had no qualifications to be able to render any technical service to the company’."


Rs 250 crore spent in chasing the Rs 64 crore

Above fact is related to Bofors scandal in which no one comes out unblemished. Result is following:

* Former minister of state Margaret Alva helped Quottrochhi to fly from India 29-30, 2003, by keeping File of CBI till August 16.

* CBI officers who were in Switzerland heard the victory of Congress. They came back keeping legs on their heads. Bofors documents have been thrown in the dust bin because Mr.Q beloved of Gandhi Family said:” 'I believe it would be in interest of justice and India's reputation if this case against me is brought to an end.'

* In Jan. 2006, India's Supreme Court directed the Indian government to take steps to maintain the status quo and ensure the frozen accounts are not unlocked. But before this on the direction of Law minister as requested by B Datta, additional solicitor general of India, the high court in London ordered to defreeze Quattrocchi's two British bank accounts. Why two London bank accounts of the Italian businessman, key accused in the Bofors pay-offs case, were defrozen at CBI's behest.


London, Switzerland & Italy focal point for Gandhis

LONDON:
Sonia Gandhi studied in London. Her one sister is residing in London. Rahul was also at London before coming in politicsc, brother of Congress MLA from Punjab, is a London-based businessman. He is Managing Director of DSSI Group. They are relatives of Natwar Singh and involved in Food for Oil scandal. News report dated April 18, 2006: ED sources said they were seeking legal opinion on the action against Aditya Khanna, who had flied to the UK, despite a Letter of Cancellation issued against his passport.


Swiss based Masefield

The company, Masefield, mentioned in the Volcker Report as having managed the transactions for Natwar Singh and the Congress, is a Zug-based (Swiss) oil-trading company controlled by protégés of Marc Rich. Marc Rich is one of Switzerland’s wealthiest residents, and is one of its largest taxpayers. He is discreetly protected by the Swiss police and security apparatus, as many journalists seeking information have found out. India should not expect any real cooperation or evidence from that Canton or Switzerland.

Marc Rich

He was sentenced to 325 years in prison but he was pardoned by Bill Clinton at the end of 2000. Marc Rich was interwoven with the White House of George Bush the Elder and later, Bill Clinton. The book author described him, "Marc Rich, the man whom the United States Justice Department privately called the most corrupt corporate executive in America". ["Metal Men", page 13.]

Switzerland seems to be the focal point for all Gandhi family corruption BOFORS, the KGB funds.Now we see Masefield AG. Can all this be a coincidence? Through this company, Natwar Singh and the Congress party bought oil from Saddam Hussein and later re-sold in the international market.

Masefield s Chief Financial Officer Hemant Thanawala, confirmed his company's business dealings with Hamdan Exports, run by Jagat Singh's friend Andleeb Singh.
