Bofors kickbacks were
political payment to KKKangress, confirms Sten Lindstrom, the former head of Swedish police.
“Through a
front company called AE Services, bribes paid by Bofors landed in
Quattrocchi’s account, which he subsequently cleaned out because India
said there was no evidence linking him to the Bofors deal. Nobody in
Sweden or Switzerland was allowed to interrogate him. Ardbo had mentioned a meeting between an A E Services official and a Gandhi
trustee lawyer in Geneva. This was a political payment."
Lindstrom also criticised the way the subsequent V P Singh government
had investigated the case. “They gave me a list of names to pursue, including the name of
Amitabh Bachchan. During that trip to Sweden, the Indian investigators
planted the Bachchan angle on Dagens Nyheter (the newspaper).” Lindstorm said.
