Click to play videoNew Delhi: Satyam founder and ex-chairman Ramalinga Raju finally, on Tuesday, appeared before the CBI court in Hyderabad for questioning over illegal money transfers abroad. He has been evading the CBI questioning citing ill health so far.
He is the man charged in India's biggest corporate fraud. It has been 20 months since the CBI has taken over the case.
For the first time the CBI has got to grill Raju, the prime accused in the Satyam money scam.
Here are some of the questions that the CBI put to Raju, who allegedly siphoned off hundred of crore and admitted to cooking the books. (1) How much illegal money did Raju transferred to accounts in foreign countries? (2) Which are the countries where Raju had parked the funds? (3) What was the modus operandi of transferring those funds?
However, CBI sources told CNN-IBN that it has specific information of fund transfer to few countries.
CBI says two countries have provided information on Raju's accounts. It had earlier written to UK and other European countries seeking information on these accounts.
Since his arrest in January 2009, the prime accused in the Rs 14,000 crore money scam, he has been able to evade CBI's grilling citing ill health and scripting his own escape plans.
The former Satyam chief was able to secure a bail in August this year (2010). Last week he was discharged Nizam's Insitute of Medical Science, where he was cooling his heels since September 2009.
Raju and other accused are likely to be grilled further.
