Ms.Sonia
Gandhi may well turn out to be India’s Fujimori, the Peruvian Leader of
Japanese descent. It is now known that Fujimori has been secretly maintaining
and hiding his Japanese citizenship while claiming to be a natural born
Peruvian national. The wrath of the people of Peru came to visit upon Fujimori
when his corrupt activities came to be unraveled, so he bolted back to Japan
with his loot intact and then revealed that he had been all along a born Japanese citizen, and thus
immune from extradition to Peru. Ms. Sonia Gandhi has like Fujimori in Peru a
long history of committing fraud on the public. Ms. Sonia Gandhi shares
Fujimori’s mendacity as well. For, example, in the Lok Sabha Who’s Who, on page
290-91, Ms.Gandhi has claimed to have been educated in the Cambridge University.
This is utterly and completely false. Ms. Gandhi had instead gone to the town
of Cambridge to learn English in a unrecognized teaching shop. Such falsehood
is thus reflective of the duplicitous mentality of Ms. Sonia Gandhi. Time is
now near for her to be exposed as India’s Fujimori.
2. Ms. Sonia Gandhi’s track record,
hitherto unscrutinized, reveals an incredible venality and culpability under
criminal laws of the country. She is therefore extremely vunerable to any
hostile government, and thus would seriously jeopardize the prospects of an
opposition coalition that included the Congress Party in an election campaign
against the incumbent in office. The track record of Ms.Sonia Gandhi as a
habitual law breaker are illustrated below.
A. In 1972, Ms.Sonia Gandhi took
employment as an insurance agent of Oriental Fire Insurance, a public sector
firm. As a foreigner as she was then, she committed a criminal offence by
taking such employment. Furthermore, she showed her business address as the
official residence of the then Prime Minister and her mother-in-law, Mrs.
Indira Gandhi, at 1, Safdarjung Road, New Delhi, which is an offence. Besides
these, she collected commissions on insurance policy sold to Maruti and to
individuals in the Prime Minister’s Office, which is also an offence. These
facts came to light in a Rajya Sabha Question Hour in November 1974. The then Prime Minister
Mrs.Indira Gandhi,and mother-in-law later announced in the House that Mrs.Sonia
Gandhi had resigned her insurance agency, a clear admission of culpability
under law. The three offences listed above are not subject to the statute of
limitation, and thus the failure to prosecute Ms.Sonia Gandhi then, is no bar
to launching prosecution now.
B. On January 25, 1973, Ms.Sonia Gandhi
was appointed the Managing Director of Maruti Technical Services Private
Ltd.[MTSPL] in an “extraordinary” meeting of two share holders who together
held all the shares, 20 shares each of Rs.10 per share. The two shareholders at
the meeting were Ms.Sonia Gandhi and Mr.Sanjay Gandhi. The MTSPL was
incorporated on November 16, 1970. On September 28, 1974, Ms.Sonia Gandhi was
made the MD of the Maruti Heavy Vehicles Private Ltd.[MHVPL], which was
incorporated on February 22, 1974 with 13 shareholders in which the Gandhis had
controlling interest. The Maruti car company and the heavy vehicles firm
entered into a consultancy contact for expert advice with MTSPL for which
susstantial fees were paid.
In 1978,
the Commission of Inquiry headed by Supreme Court Judge Mr.A.C.Gupta, appointed
by the Janata Party government, submitted its Report on the affairs of the
Maruti companies. The Commission recorded the depositions of S.Kumar, Registrar
of companies, and A.Banerjee, Income tax officer, Mr.Kumar held that “the
allotment of shares of the MTSPL and MHVPL to Ms.Sonia Gandhi was in contravention of Section 28(1) of FERA
1973 which prohibited foreigners from owning shares in Indian companies, and
hence was ab initio void in law. By Section 56, Ms.Sonia Gandhi thus
committed a criminal offence that limitation on this offence even if FERA
stands replaced by FEMA in 2000. Thus Ms.Sonia Gandhi can be prosecuted even
today. Furthermore, the Gupta Commission recorded that Income Tax Officer, A.
Banerjee had disallowed the remuneration paid by MTSPL to Ms.Sonia Gandhi
“because she had no qualifications to be able to render any technical service
to the company.” Considering that Ms. Sonia Gandhi holds an unrecognized
“diploma” from a English Language teaching shop for unemployed European girls
in the city of Cambridge, England, that is quite obvious. Hence a fraud was
committed, for which Ms. Gandhi can be prosecuted under Income Tax law as well.
C. The electoral rolls of the New Delhi
Constituency were revised in 1980 with January of that year as the qualifying
date. When the voter list was published, Ms. Sonia Gandhi, then an Italian
citizen, illegally became a voter at serial number 388 of polling station
number 145 of that constituency. Ms. Gandhi applied to become an Indian citizen
only on April 7, 1983, and was granted citizenship with lightening speed on the
same day. But during the three years till the beginning of 1983, Ms. Sonia
Gandhi remained on the voter roll committing offences punishable under Section
31 of the Representation of Peoples Act 1950, of a maximum sentence of one year
and fine. Ms. Sonia Gandhi cannot say that she was not willfully committing
this grievous offence because to become a voter, one has to fill and sign Form
6 prepared under the Electors Rules 1960 in which affirmation of citizenship of
India is essential. Hence Ms. Gandhi by this false affirmation also committed
offences under the Indian Penal Code, particularly Sections 192 and 199, which
carry a three year punishment.
D. During the 1980s, Ms.Sonia Gandhi’s
mother Mrs.Paola Maino, and sister Anushka Vinci had developed business
connections with Snam Progetti’s resident in India, Mr.Ottavio Quattrocchi. The
Influence wielded by Rajiv Gandhi’s Italian in-laws enabled Quattrocchi to
corner government contracts such Thal Vaishet fertilizer project, as well as to
broker deals such as the Bofors 155mm gun sale to the Indian Army. Affidavits
filed in a Malaysian court and documents with the CBI establish that Sonia’s
sister Anushka and her husband (now ex) Walter Vinci were beneficiaries from
the receipts of Quattrocchi from Bofors company. Quattrocchi has also declared
that he is a close friend of Ms.Sonia Gandhi, a claim not denied by her. Hence
Ms.Sonia Gandhi, her sister and mother are candidates for inclusion in the
Bofors bribery case FIR under Section
319 of the Cr.P.C., to be thus investigated and prosecuted.
E.
Revelations contained in the archives of the KGB became public,
and some of which were published in Pravda and Izvestia in 1992 following the
liquidation of the Soviet Union. Most of these Archives are now kept in a
library at Harvard University, USA. One letter in the archives documents the
regular payment of commission to Ms.Sonia Gandhi and the Maino family in Italy,
arranged by the KGB. One letter [published in a Russian news daily Izvestia
on June 27, 1992 in an article by Ms.Yevgenia Albats of Moscow News] was
written by the then KGB chief, Viktor Chebrikov to the Central Committee of the
Communist Party of the Soviet Union [CPSU]. The KGB chief reporting these
payments to the CPSU for ractification, stated that members of the Rajiv Gandhi
family had expressed profound gratitude for the help being received by them
through commercial deals of an organizations. In a confidential message to the
KGB, stated Chebrikov to the CPSU, “they [the Mainos] informed that a major
part of these resources was used to support the party of Mr.Rajiv Gandhi”. Only
July 3, 1992 Ms.Tatiana Samolis, the spokesperson of the KGB’s successor
organization, the Federal Intelligence service [FIS], in a press briefing in
Moscow [which was reported in the Hindu 4.7.92] confirmed that indeed
such a connection between the KGB and Mainos had existed “in view of the
ideological confrontation that prevailed in the world at that time” In the 1989
elections for example the Mainos spent Rs.10 crores on select candidates of the
Congress Party in the General Elections, obviously to create cheerleaders for
Ms.Sonia Gandhi for a future contingency, Mr.Arjun Singh was one such recipient
from the Mainos. Ms.Sonia Gandhi, her mother and sister are thus guilty of
offences under IPC Sections 120B read with 171-C and 171-H, as well as FERA and
FCRA.
F.
The Mainos have systematically plundered and exported the
ancient treasures of India, especially temple sculptures of Tamil Nadu, Andhra,
Orissa and Madhya Pradesh, Mughal paintings and precious gems in Indian
Museums, all protected and banned from export under the Antiquities and Art
Treasures Act, 1972. The CBI had in 1993 registered cases on such illegal
exports from a Chennai Suburb to an identified person in Italy (see enclosed
document). Alitalia and Air India flights were used to send unchecked crates
after after crates misusing the SPG cover first to Italy for display in shops
owned by her family e.g.Etnica in Rivolta or Ganpati in Orbassano
[see enclosed photo and calling card], and after creating an ownership on
paper, getting the contraband auctioned by Sotheebys and Christies, the London
auctioneers. Fred Watson’s Sothebys-An
Inside Story [Random House, 1998] gives some clues on such a racket. There
is in the records of the Ministry of Human Resources enough materials in Notes
on file of Directors Generals of Archeological Survey of India to suggest
precious ancient paintings of the Mughal period were removed and declared
“stolen” or missing, but ended up in a house in Golf Links, New Delhi which
Ms.Sonia Gandhi had frequented. Even the Festival of India was used as a ploy
to smuggle out such treasures. In
arranging these delicate operations the Mainos took the help Mr.Arjun Singh
[when he was Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and later Union Human Resources
Development Minister], art expert Martand Singh, a Pakistani couple Muneer and
Farida Attaullah, London based Pakistani fixer Salman Thassir a prince of
Kuwait, and even the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) which has been
convicted by courts in India for the assassination of Mr.Rajiv Gandhi Thus,
Ms.Sonia Gandhi and her Italian relatives are culpable for various offences
under the Antiquities and Art Treasures Act as well as under Sections 295, 378
and 410 of the IPC.
G.
When Rajiv Gandhi married Sonia Gandhi on February 25, 1968, she
was poor. Her Father Stefano Maino had lost everything after his party leader,
Benito Mussolini, the II Duce of Fascist Italy, was overthrown and killed.
After World War II, Stefano became a brick layer, and Sonia’s mother, Paola
Predebon, a share cropper. Like many poor Italian families, Sonia was
dispatched to learn English in a teaching shop in Cambridge town and thus land
a job as an hostess or in similar employment, a modest goal indeed. Her
marriage to Rajiv Gandhi on 25.2.68 however changed all that. And because of
the aforesaid illegal activities, the Maino family became in just 25 years the
richest family of Italy with net worth of US $ 2.0 billion. The respected Swiss
magazine, Schweizer Illusttrierte, in its November 1991 issue, reported
that the Mainos had in 1991 about $2.7 billion. But over the 1990s decade, the
Mainos appear to have lost some of the money due to reckless investments,
collapse of the Barings Bank, and ostentatious spending. They are still worth
about US $2.0 billion today.
H.
Ms.Sonia Gandhi has also fully utilized the martyrdom of her
husband Rajiv Gandhi to advance her political career as well as to take control
of the Nehru family’s monetary inheritance. The Rajiv Gandhi Foundation was set
up under her chairmanship and Rs.200 crores collected during Narasimha
Rao’s tenure as PM, for use in
education and public affairs. Yet an analysis of the accounts of the Foundation
show that only 3% of the income is being used for the stated objectives while
97% is deployed for other goals
including for private travel of Ms.Gandhi and her chosen ones. This is a violation
of the Trust Act and thus Ms.Gandhi and other trustees can be proceeded under Section 92 of the
CPC. There is already a PIL in the Delhi High Court in this matter.
3.
Circumstantial evidence is also fast accumulating that makes it
now imperative for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to probe whether
the mother (Ms.Paola Maino) and sister (Ms.Anushka Vinci) of Ms.Sonia Gandhi,
have had a long term continuing association since 1984 with the terrorist
organization, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), The Supreme Court
had delivered on May 12, 1999 a stinging judgement that held the LTTE
responsible for the assassination of India’s former Prime Minister Mr.Rajiv
Gandhi. The Government had set up a Multi Disciplinary Monitoring Agency (MDMA)
in August 1998, led by the CBI, to probe leads such as that have now surfaced
regarding the Maino-LTTE links.
4.
The Circumstantial evidence of these links include Sonia
Gandhi’s plea for commuting the death penalty for her husband’s killers; in providing
one acre of land near the Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi, for
housing the Periyar Centre for the pro-LTTE and secessionist Dravida Kazhagam
(DK) which had been indicted in Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination by the Jain
Commission (Part III, Vol.IV, Chapter VII, Pages 161-73, of the Final Report)
and whose seven key members have been sentenced along with nineteen others of
the LTTE by the Supreme Court, for participating in the assassination
conspiracy. There are several other examples of Ms.Sonia Gandhi going
inexplicably soft on
the LTTE, including remaining silent on the failure of the government to
extradite the LTTE Supremo Prabhakaran.
5.
The CBI-led Multi Disciplinary Monitoring Agency (MDMA) set up
after the Jain Commission Final Report, should therefore send interrogatories
to the Maino family in Italy about all this, and investigate the extent of
their connections with LTTE.
6.
Ms.Sonia Gandhi’s family in Italy constitutes a major national
security risk for India, but paradoxically they enjoy the cover of the Indian
state for their nefarious activities. The RAW, India’s foreign intelligence
agency has reports of this national security risk. While in service (during
Rajiv Gandhi’s tenure as PM), the Additional Director of RAW, B.Raman had in a
report stated:
“Ms.Sonia
Gandhi’s umbilical cord is strongly tied to Italy. Her close relatives are
Italian citizens living in Italy. India has important national security
interest in Italy because of its arms, nuclear and technology supply
relationships with Pakistan and China.”
Raman
concluded that no source in Italy or in EU would cooperate with Indian
Intelligence on this issue since they would fear that one day perhaps these
sources may fall into Italian hands. After retirement from RAW, Raman even
published these views in Statesman (May 16, 1999) in an article under
his own name.
Italy,
incidentally, is flouting US sanctions and providing avionics to the
Sino-Pakistan Joint project to manufacture the F-1 Chinese design plane update,
which is to be a successor to the US F-16 super fighter jets. Indian
Intelligence is busy trying to build sources in Italy to track details of this
collaboration.
7. For all these
information I have written to Ms.Vasundara Raje, Minister in charge of
Personnel (i.e.,CBI) to initiate a CBI inquiry. On all the above, if on no
action is initiated, I will have no other option but to move the courts myself
to set the law into motion.
