<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Mumbai: <b>Unaccounted wealth worth Rs 35,000 crore, 10 Swiss bank accounts</b>, prime property in metro cities, stud farms and Hawala connection.
What started out as a random scrutiny by the Income Tax department is turning out to be perhaps the biggest case in the history of Indiaâs I-T investigations.
The taxmen claim to have netted Pune-based businessman and racehorse owner Hasan Ali, <b>who could well turn out to be Indiaâs fourth richest man.</b>
The Enforcement Directorate is now waiting for Aliâs account details from the Swiss Bank to finally nail him.
Known for his affluence and interest in breeding thoroughbred horses, Ali was questioned after the raid on his premises across Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabdad and Bangalore. However, the taxmen failed to procure documents and necessary warrants to arrest him. Ali now seems to have gone underground.
