In a development that could make the custodial interrogation difficult for A Raja, some foreign countries have expressed willingness to cooperate with the Indian government in connection with the 2G money that is suspected to have been stashed in their banks.
The probe agencies — the CBI and the enforcement directorate (ED) — were eagerly waiting for a favourable response from the countries to go ahead with their probe. Letters Rogatory (LR) had been dispatched by the ED in December 2010 and January 2011.
An ED official confirmed the development, indicating they have strong enough evidence to nail Raja and others.
ED had dispatched LR to 10 countries, including Russia, UAE, UK, Mauritius, Italy, Cyprus, Norway, Singapore, Libya and Isle of Man, in December 2010.
