NEW DELHI: A Delhi court has issued revised Letter Rogatory to the Swiss Confederation authorities for collecting evidence in a money-laundering case lodged by the Enforcement Directorate in the Rs 3,600 crore VVIP chopper deal.
The court passed the order on ED’s plea seeking issuance of revised Letter Rogatory to the competent court or authority in Swiss Confederation, instead of Republic of Switzerland, as issued earlier, to enable gathering of evidence.
“In view of the submissions, the word ‘Republic of Switzerland’ be read as ‘Swiss Confederation’ in order dated May 26, 2015 and a revised Letter of Request to the competent court/authority concerned in Swiss Confederation be issued,” Special Judge Ajay Kumar Jain said.
Advocate N K Matta, appearing for ED, submitted that the court had earlier passed an order issuing Letter of Request to the authorities in Republic of Switzerland.
He said now the agency wanted it to be issued to the competent authority of Government of Swiss Confederation as advised by the Ministry of Home Affairs. (AGENCIES)
