The chargesheet comes within days of the CBI team going to other countries to probe the alleged diversion of funds by Raju and re-routing back to India,official sources said. The funds were routed back to India via European nations as investments in nearly 300 alleged fictitious companies floated in the name of his relatives,they said.
