Hyderabad, February 06:In a development that will facilitate further unravelling of the multi-crore Satyam scam, the CBI has received a response from authorities in the UK and Singapore to Letters Rogatory (LOR) issued by the special court trying the main accused here, a senior officer said.
LORs — a formal request sent from the court of one country to a foreign court for judicial assistance — were sent to six countries: USA, UK, Belgium, British Virgin Islands, Mauritius and Singapore, seeking information in connection with Satyam case.
The CBI has alleged in its chargesheet that B Ramalinga Raju, the former chairman of the company and the prime accused in the scam, diverted funds to foreign countries.
“Singapore and UK gave interim LORs and asked us for some clarifications and we replied to them. The communication channel is open.
