CBI Tracks Rs 67-Cr Kickbacks In Rajeev Saxena’s Bank Account

New Delhi: The CBI has tracked down Rs 67-crore kickbacks in an account operated by Rajeev Saxena, an accused in the money laundering case in the Augusta Westland chopper scam. The agency in a petition in the Supreme Court objected to Saxena’s plea to travel abroad for medical treatment, as it has uncovered crucial evidence leading to the kickbacks in the scam. A source familiar with the investigation confirmed that the CBI has established the authenticity of signatures on a bank account, which was disputed by Saxena. This account, operated by Saxena, allegedly received about 12.4 million Euros equivalent to Rs 67 crore. The source also confirmed that the agency has apparently forensically corroborated the kickbacks. The CBI informed the court it has recently received crucial evidence clearly implicating Saxena in the scam. (IANS)
