In 1986, the Government of India signed a contract worth ₹1,437 crore with Sweden's Bofors company for the purchase of 155mm howitzer guns. In 1987, a report on Swedish Radio revealed that Bofors had paid bribes and a thirty percent commission to Indian officials, amounting to $64 million, which exposed the scandal. This report not only affected Indian politics but also became a major reason for Rajiv Gandhi's defeat in the 1989 Lok Sabha elections. The investigation found that the commission amount, reported as roughly $64 million, comes to ₹5,67,45,83,168 (5,674,583,168.00 rupees) in today's terms. Five and a half billion, that is, five hundred and fifty crore rupees. Just think about it. That money could have paid for the education of thousands of martyrs' children and helped their widows. Anyway, this money was transferred to coded accounts in Swiss banks named "Mont Blanc," "Tulip" and "Lotus." Swiss authorities froze these accounts, and the investigation showed that the "Montblanc" account belonged to the Hinduja brothers, brokers and businessmen, while the "Tulip" account belonged to the person who also controlled the account named "Lotus." This person had unrestricted access to the Prime Minister's residence in India, and the CBI and RAW gave him the code name "B." "B" perhaps because this person was the "Boyfriend" of the then Prime Minister's wife. So be it! Meanwhile, Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated in India. His foreign-born wife, who was always with him, was "only that day" not with him, and then for several months she mysteriously disappeared from India along with both children. Through the efforts of the Atal government, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) named this person "B" in its 1999 chargesheet as the operator of the commission. Later, Quattrocchi's links with other intermediaries like the Hinduja brothers were also proven through the Swiss accounts. In 2003, the UK's Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) also froze these accounts. But by then the government had changed, and in 2005 the Manmohan Singh government, through Additional Solicitor General B. Datta, advised the CPS that there was no strong case against Quattrocchi, on the basis of which the freeze on the accounts should be lifted. The money in the Lotus account vanished within the next hour. Get it? Who did it reach?? No??? Brokerage in the Swiss Lotus account - that broker being the ex of the Prime Minister's wife, the Prime Minister's murderer, the wife not being with the Prime Minister during the murder , freezing the broker's accounts - Manmohan getting the freeze on the broker's accounts lifted and then... the money vanished. If you still don't understand, don't waste time here. Anyway, with the gradual deaths of the accused, the case was closed, and the account for the blood-and-sweat earnings of Indians could never be taken, nor could they be punished. Oh, I forgot to tell you about these codes. "B" was Ottavio Quattrocchi, - the Prime Minister's foreign wife was Antonia Maino, alias "Sonia," and... - "Lotus," which means "kamal," and a synonym of kamal is "Rajiv Gandhi." Do you now understand why Rajiv was murdered and how the freeze on the "Lotus" account was lifted? How did this foreign woman get a place among the world's richest politicians? Think about how this foreign woman's son makes at least a dozen foreign trips a year, especially to Thailand. Think about where he gets the money to wear a forty-thousand-rupee casual T-shirt and two-lakh-rupee shoes. Think about where he gets the money to announce that he will adopt fifty or so children. (Though this is only an announcement, because they are actually raised by the Modi government.) Think about how much interest alone on five hundred crore would amount to, and I haven't even mentioned mega-scams like Coalgate. Just think.
