Who is Godfather of India’s Corruption?


by Rajinder Puri

Anti-corruption time bomb ticking!

The Bofors deal was a watershed in India’s fight against corruption. Bigger corruption might have occurred earlier. But for the first time the most powerful politician in the land was perceived to have deliberately covered up the crime. That corruption case was never satisfactorily cleared. But the efforts of the government to bend rules and cover up the truth became increasingly evident over the years. Now there are prospects that what could not be accomplished with regard to the Bofors deal could be realized in the Augusta Westland helicopter deal.

Would a service chief be directly involved in accepting a bribe or would he more likely compromise with higher political authority to clinch the deal?

The technical requirements for the purchase of the helicopters had been changed to favour Westland for signing the contract.
Events indicate that the possibility of a knockout punch to be delivered for corruption against the most powerful in the land cannot be dismissed. Why this might happen may be adduced from recapitulating events of the helicopter deal.

In the Bofors deal the exposure came from Sweden which supplied the guns for which bribes were paid. In the Westland deal the exposure comes from Italy which supplied the helicopters. Two weeks from now Italy will hold a general election. The Italian Prime Minister Mr. Mario Monti is under attack for not doing enough to eradicate Italy’s burgeoning corruption. There were corruption charges against Italy’s giant defence firm Finmeccanica which supplied the Augusta Westland choppers to India. Corruption allegations had erupted over a year ago. The Italian government owns 30 percent share of Finmeccanica. The Italian government ordered a probe. The Indian government stayed put for an entire year ostensibly waiting to get information from the Italians. Now matters have come to a head in Italy. Pre-poll compulsions have led the government to arrest the Finmeccanica CEO Mr. Giuseppe Orsi and put under house arrest three others including the head of the firm’s UK based Augusta Westland unit. It has become impossible for the Indian government to ignore this development. Defence Minister Mr. AK Antony has ordered a CBI inquiry.

During the probe Italian investigators had seized hours of taped conversation between one of the Italian middlemen, Mr. Guido Haschke, and his Indian counterparts. Swiss authorities had placed Mr. Haschke under arrest.
} In the taped conversation the names of several Indians who received bribes were mentioned. The Italians released the transcript of the taped conversation. Now according to latest media reports Italian investigators have alleged that former Indian Air Chief Air Marshal SP Tyagi had received bribes. Much earlier during the course of the probe in Italy the names of certain relatives of Air Marshal Tyagi had surfaced. Confronted with the information the Air Marshal readily acknowledged the relationship but denied any business dealing with them.

Would a service chief be directly involved in accepting a bribe or would he more likely compromise with higher political authority to clinch the deal? The technical requirements for the purchase of the helicopters had been changed to favour Westland for signing the contract. The cabinet committee headed by Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh had cleared the deal. The deal had also been cleared by Defence Minister Mr. AK Antony and then Finance Minister Mr. Pranab Mukherjee. Given these facts would a service chief act on his own to clinch the deal after the technical requirements to purchase the helicopters had been suitably modified to allow the deal to go through?

The question now is whether the political Godfather
who sanctions corrupt deals will be unmasked.

Two factors provide hope.

First, even though the CBI inquiry ordered by the government after the arrest of the Italian businessmen may be an attempt at a whitewash compelled by developments, the possibility of CBI sleuths doing an honest job cannot be precluded. Under pressure even a worm turns. Sections of the Indian bureaucracy are getting fed up. Officials are displaying unprecedented independence. The recent suspension of a CBI prosecuting official for allegedly colluding with an accused of the 2G scam is symptomatic. Since the names of several Indian recipients of bribes in the Westland deal are known it should not be difficult for sleuths to grill them and unmask the political Godfather of corruption. The second factor is even more crucial.

Many months ago in the transcripts of the taped conversation related to kickbacks released by Italian investigators in which the names if Indian recipients were mentioned, one key name was withheld by the Italians. In one excerpt the name of the Indian mastermind who could clinch the deal was constantly repeated. Oddly enough the Italian investigators in the transcripts referred to that mystery individual as “incomprehensible”. They put up the ridiculous claim that the name could not be deciphered! Thus in one exchange the Italian middleman Guido Haschke told his Indian counterpart: “They just need to say: I take orders “incomprehensible”. I take orders from “incomprehensible” in India.” That he claimed would swing the deal.}

Referring to this transcript it was demanded in these columns on October 28, 2012:

“The Indian government must demand a copy of the tape in order to ascertain the name of the mastermind whose word was law for the Italian businessmen and Indian officials with whom they dealt. If by any chance the name reveals an individual whose exposure could threaten the survival of the UPA government the matter becomes one of grave national security. The Italians and the Swiss could in that event blackmail this government. Because this is a matter that could affect national security, the President can order the government to insist that the Italians hand over a copy of the tape.”
}

The government of course did not respond. It could have compelled the Italians to comply. The Westland contract includes “specific contractual provisions against bribery and the use of undue influence as well as an Integrity Pact”. This clause was quoted by the government to initiate the recent CBI probe. But why could not the government have threatened the Italian government earlier with a penalty clause to obtain the telltale tape which named the mastermind of the deal? There was enough incriminating evidence in the transcript for the government to have made the demand then. Obviously the government was inhibited by the corruption mastermind. Now it remains to be seen whether the named mastermind will surface either from the actual tape or the transcript provided by Italy or from any Indian recipient during grilling by CBI sleuths. One can only keep one’s fingers crossed.

GETTING that tape from italy is not hard once MADI COMES TO POWER.then AMULBABY AND HIS MOM can be send TO TIHAR JAIL obviously the name that was INCOMPREHENSIBLE in tapes will be some member of gandhi dynasty} ..}}

It is also established that AIL and its allies clinched defence deals worth 5.5 billion dollars during a period of four years. Also, there is now evidence that Mr. Verma�s lawyer, Mr. Gautam Khaitan, helped transmit almost 300 million US dollars held in two accounts by AIL from Mauritius to Delhi for disposal as AIL thought fit.}

It is now revealed that Mr. Abishekh Verma, presently in jail for violating the Official Secrets Act connected to the Naval War Room leak, is also the owner of the Mauritius based company Atlas Interactive Limited (AIL). Evidence has been unearthed to indicate that Mr. Verma’s firm operates as the deal broker for Augusta Westland on an overall basis. It is also established that AIL and its allies clinched defence deals worth 5.5 billion dollars during a period of four years. Also, there is now evidence that Mr. Verma’s lawyer, Mr. Gautam Khaitan, helped transmit almost 300 million US dollars held in two accounts by AIL from Mauritius to Delhi for disposal as AIL thought fit.

From all this it is amply clear that Mr. Verma is one of the key players in the arms trade racket. If grilled properly with a mixture of stick and carrot cannot he be made to reveal all he knows? It is entirely possible that Mr. Verma may cooperate given a proper deal. After all he belongs to a distinguished family. His late father Srikant Verma was a celebrity in the world of Hindi literature. He was made member of the Rajya Sabha by the Congress government. Apart from his sterling contribution to Hindi literature he rendered invaluable service to national politics. He enabled Mrs. Sonia Gandhi to effectively contribute to national politics by teaching her Hindi over a period of several years.

Apparently the rapport between the parents extended to their children. The CBI while probing the defence deals of Mr. Abhishek Verma had in its possession a document related to a meeting between a senior official of Sig Sauer, a giant arms firm, and defence top officials that was officially recorded. It was pointed out in these columns in July last year:

“It (the document) reveals that the Sig Sauer official was accompanied by “a young member” of the Gandhi dynasty while meeting Defence officials. That means either Mr. Rahul Gandhi, Mr. Robert Vadra or Mrs. Priyanka Vadra accompanied the Sig Sauer official during the meeting with Defence Ministry top officials

read how pranab did scam for gandhis ANTONY WAS NOT INVOLVED

For starters there is enough information to commence. We know now that contrary to earlier reports the final changes in the technical requirements were introduced after clearance not by Mr. Pranab Mukherjee and Mr. AK Antony but solely by Mr. Mukherjee. Defence Minister Mr. Mukherjee demitted portfolio in favour of Mr. Antony just after approving the crucial changes. Immediately thereafter, as Finance Minister, Mr. Mukherjee again approved the changes on behalf of his new office.The final changes in the technical requirements for the copters therefore were approved only by the Prime Minister and Mr. Mukherjee in 2006}}

Can Chopper Probe Chop Mafia?


by Rajinder Puri

The Augusta Westland helicopter corruption case offers opportunity not only to unearth the guilty in this deal but to clean up the nexus that runs corruption in the major official deals in the nation. When the system becomes corrupt as has happened in India there grow permanent service providers for laundering money, transmitting money, providing legal safeguards and actual bribing of officials that might be used in all deals and not just any one particular deal. The evidence surfacing from the August Westland scam provides opportunity to crack the system and destroy the mafia running it.

What must be guarded against is to chase singular players and lose sight of the whole picture.

There is vested interest and expertise by the corruption mafia to divert public attention to precisely such aspects which act as a red herring to draw media attention away from how the mafia operates.

In the current case there is considerable attention focused on when, how and in how many stages the technical requirements for purchasing the copters was altered to facilitate the deal in favour of Augusta Westland. In the light of the revelations that have already surfaced these might be downgraded for priority. One might focus straight away on going for the jugular.

We already know that bribes were paid. We already know when they were paid. We already know the identity of some of the recipients. The essential requirement to get the truth would be of course to grill them remorselessly and also offer inducement of lighter sentence to encourage them to spill the beans. Recall how Watergate was cracked to reach the very top.

For starters there is enough information to commence. We know now that contrary to earlier reports the final changes in the technical requirements were introduced after clearance not by Mr. Pranab Mukherjee and Mr. AK Antony but solely by Mr. Mukherjee. Defence Minister Mr. Mukherjee demitted portfolio in favour of Mr. Antony just after approving the crucial changes. Immediately thereafter, as Finance Minister, Mr. Mukherjee again approved the changes on behalf of his new office. The final changes in the technical requirements for the copters therefore were approved only by the Prime Minister and Mr. Mukherjee in 2006.

The change introduced by the late Mr. Brajesh Mishra during the NDA government was rational in order to ensure that the technical requirements were not such as to allow only one bidder. Mr. Mukherjee of course cannot be troubled now because as the President he is above questioning. However officials who served under him at that time can be questioned to throw more light on the matter.

From the information about the deal that is tumbling out in bits and driblets the exposures by Times Now TV channel Ms. Navika Kumar are crucial. Reporting from Milan, Italy, Ms. Kumar has accessed several documents from the official Italian investigation that throw valuable light on the scam.

Two such bits of information might prove crucial.

It is now revealed that Mr. Abishekh Verma, presently in jail for violating the Official Secrets Act connected to the Naval War Room leak, is also the owner of the Mauritius based company Atlas Interactive Limited (AIL). Evidence has been unearthed to indicate that Mr. Verma’s firm operates as the deal broker for Augusta Westland on an overall basis. It is also established that AIL and its allies clinched defence deals worth 5.5 billion dollars during a period of four years. Also, there is now evidence that Mr. Verma’s lawyer, Mr. Gautam Khaitan, helped transmit almost 300 million US dollars held in two accounts by AIL from Mauritius to Delhi for disposal as AIL thought fit.

From all this it is amply clear that Mr. Verma is one of the key players in the arms trade racket. If grilled properly with a mixture of stick and carrot cannot he be made to reveal all he knows? It is entirely possible that Mr. Verma may cooperate given a proper deal. After all he belongs to a distinguished family. His late father Srikant Verma was a celebrity in the world of Hindi literature. He was made member of the Rajya Sabha by the Congress government.

That means either Mr. Rahul Gandhi, Mr. Robert Vadra or Mrs. Priyanka Vadra accompanied the Sig Sauer official during the meeting with Defence Ministry top officials.”}}

Nothing further was heard related to this document. Perhaps the time has come to probe whether Mr. Verma manipulated his contacts with high ups to deceive them and at the same time influence officials
