The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), probing the multi-crore Satyam Computer scam, is likely to file chargesheet against former chairman Ramalinga Raju and others soon, beginning the trial of those involved in the financial fraud.
According to sources, the CBI has nearly completed its probe and may file a chargesheet in the first week of April, before the mandatory 90-day period lapses since the arrest of the accused. The agency was also preparing Letters Rogatory in regard to the Satyam probe, which would be sent to a number of countries seeking information on financial transactions by the firm and Raju, besides his family, sources said.
The CBI, which has set up a multi-disciplinary investigation team, said that the money involved in the scam was much more than what Raju stated.
“We feel that there is more than what meets the eye. Raju knows a lot and it seems he has just confessed to a part of it,” said a source, adding that this was the reason why the agency has moved an application before a local court in Hyderabad seeking permission to subject Raju to a lie-detector test.
