CBI team reaches Buenos Aires

A CBI team flew in here on Thursday from New Delhi to seek extradition of Bofors accused Ottavio Quattrocchi whose lawyer said India had no case to get the Italian businessman.

CBI Director of Prosecution SK Sharma and SP Keshav Mishra came with a set of voluminous documents, which will be presented to the Argentinian foreign office in support of India’s request to extradite Quattrocchi detained in this country on February 6 on the basis of an Interpol alert. Quattrocchi, who left India in 1993, was released on bail on February 23 but his passport has been impounded.
