From Kanchiforum:
The smoking gun that connects Ms. Sonia Gandhi to illegal payments facilitated by oil allotments of the Saddam Hussein regime is the Letter of Credit issued by Vitol Ltd in the name of President, Congress Party, 24, Akbar Road, New Delhi. That such a Letter of Credit can be inferred by Table 3 in the Volker Committee Report.
The Volker Committee also has a copy of the letter written by Ms. Sonia Gandhi to Saddam Hussein, which the latter forwarded to the Oil Ministry in Baghdad with an endorsement for oil allotment voucher in the name of President, Congress Party for more than 4 million barrels of oil. Not a drop of that oil came to India, but the kickbacks on it for Ms. Gandhi was deposited in her account in Bank of America, Caymen Island. Later, much of the money has come to India via the US based company Fidelity Investments in the form of a Participatory Note[PN] for investing in Bombay Stock Exchange. Mr. Chidambaram as Finance Minister has exempted PNs from being subject to the usual disclosure of ownership and put it outside the purview of the SEBI. This has helped Ms. Gandhi to safely launder in India her ill gotten money in Iraq.
Can the CBI now investigate and register a case with Ms. Sonia Gandhi as the first accused, and Mr. Chidambaram as the second accused/ accessory in this sordid affair?
