The CBI on Wednesday told a Delhi court that the Indian Embassy at Berne has requested the authorities there for provisional arrest of three officials of Switzerland-based Swiss Timing Limited. Summons had been issued against the three for their alleged role in a 2010 Commonwealth Games related corruption case.
The court had earlier issued summons to Swiss Timing’s General Manager Christophe Berthaud, Sales and Marketing Manager S Chianese and Multi Sports Events and Sales Manager J Spiri for their alleged involvement in the case.
The agency on Wednesday filed a status report regarding extradition of the accused. It was mentioned in the report that in compliance with earlier orders of this court, request for provisional arrest has been sent through Ministry of External Affairs, along with translated copies of all annexed documents in German.
“Head investigating officer has further submitted that a letter — dated 15 April, 2014, of Embassy of India, Berne — addressed to Federal Department of Justice and police, Berne, had been received by the CBI, National Bureau-India, Interpol through MHA…,” the court noted in its order.
The CBI also told the court that it was pursuing the case with the agencies concerned and a further report will be submitted soon. It requested the court at least a month’s time to do so.
Special CBI Judge Madhu Jain allowed the agency’s plea saying, “Request allowed. Put up on December 5, 2014, for filing further status report by CBI.”
