BERNE: Switzerland today named Lalit Modi and his wife Minal among those about whom information and assistance have been sought from its tax department by the Indian authorities.
In two separate gazette notifications issued today on ‘assistance’ matters, the Swiss Federal Tax Administration (FTA) also gave Modi and his wife 10 days for “exercise of the right to be heard”.
Without divulging further details, the FTA notifications here asked them to inform about a designate authorised person in Switzerland within 10 days to receive notifications.
One notification has been issued for “Lalit Kumar Modi, Indian national”, while the other one is for “Minal Modi alias Minalini Modi”.
Email and SMS queries to former IPL Commissioner about the notifications elicited no response.
In the past, several other Indian nationals have been named in such notifications after the Swiss FTA was approached by Indian authorities for information about those people with regard to the pending tax-related probes against them. (AGENCIES)
