Panaji, July 28
The Goa police today claimed to have cracked the Louis Berger bribery case and established the money trail after it questioned former PWD Minister Churchill Alemao whose name has cropped up in the scandal. The Crime Branch, probing the case, said they had tracked the route through which the bribe money was brought to India.
The police also issued summons to former Chief Minister Digambar Kamat, during whose tenure the scandal involving Louis Berger, a US consultancy firm, took place.
"We have been able to find out exactly how the money was brought to India and how much was brought," a senior Crime Branch official said declining to divulge more detail.
The Crime Branch has already arrested A Wachasunder, a senior official who headed the controversial JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) water project in Goa that is at the centre of the pay off case. Earlier in the day, the police questioned Alemao in connection with the case. Tenders for the project were issued when PWD was under Alemao. — PTI
