Press Statement issued by Shri Prakash Javadekar,
National Spokesperson, BJP (Jan. 16, 2008)
1. The revelation before the Supreme Court in the matter of fugitive Quattrocchi is a testimony to the planned sabotage enacted by the CBI at behest of Congress President Smt. Sonia Gandhi. CBI's consistent failure has helped Quattrocchi to get release and has enabled him to go back to his country. First, CBI failed to submit documents required under Argentine Law. Second, it failed to submit even the court order of arrest dated 25 th May 1997, which was the basis of India's effort to get the fugitive extradited. Third, CBI failed to submit documents to Argentine court for securing extradition. Forth, it failed to submit to pertinent legal grounds, which are necessary to proceed with extradition order. Fifth, most laughable is CBI's excuse that it could not get official translated copy of the order of the Argentine court even after five months of SC's order. All these developments confirm our position that government through CBI is involved in operation "Save Quattrocchi".
BJP recalls that Quattrocchi was arrested in Argentine on 6 th February 2007. This was not made public and even not communicated to the Supreme Court, which was hearing a PIL. His arrest was made public only after he was granted bail on 23 rd February 2007. Government's efforts after, his getting bail was not for securing his extradition but to ensure his unconditional release from Argentine. The verdict of EL Dorado court on June 8, 2007 goes for automatic appeal as per Argentine law. The Argentine council is on record saying that she was ready for appeal but was not allowed by Indian authorities to proceed. This lapse on part of CBI helped Quattrocchi getting full freedom and leave Argentine.
Earlier, also GOI through CBI helped Quattrocchi defreeze his London bank accounts and withdraw Rs. 22 crores. This was done with the help of curious remark by director prosecution that there is no prima facie case against Quattrocchi and taking shelter of a questionable judgment, which should have been challenged. Thus, it's a clear misuse of CBI for helping the Bofors accused. BJP asks the grounds for special treatment to Quattrocchi other than him being a family friend of the first family of the Congressâ¦
