Even as the media was agog with Delhi election results one news item seems to be slipping away from public attention is that Indian Express has published the list of 1100 plus HSBC account holders including that of Ambani brothers.

The family has denied having any black money but only legitimate wealth. But they seemed to have not disclosed whether they have taken the permission or given information about their account holdings to the GoI.

Finane Minister Jaitley has given the assurance names alone are not sufficient but evidence too is required for taking further action. Let the people of India pray and hope the offenders themselves will present GoI all the required information so that their wealth may be confiscated.

Amidst all this the GoI talks about GDP for this year will be as much as 7.2%. People should be informed whether the figure is inclusive off the siphoned off wealth or excluding the same.

Thanks for sharing ...

No wonder NaMo s getting back the black money back to India promise will not be kept ....

Fido.

Huh ! Atleast bring the money back first and search for the criminals later.
601 Million $ seems less for RIL though !

Reliance back to business of snooping in on government policy decisions during Budget and making windfall out of the same, just like insider trading scam that hit the USA about 5 years ago. Except Reliance would never be caught just like in the earlier instance some 25 years ago when Auditor Gurumurthy screamed his head off in Indian Express.

Note that it's just HSBC only. There are number of other Swiss banks where illegal black money would be stashed. Hope Modi looks at other tax heaven banks also.

Jaitley & Co are sincerely showing the arc lights on banks in and around Switzerland when they know very well that since 5 years back the funds have been switched over to other places like South America. Just to keep the people entertained.

It is not going to be the same for anyone once they start having tons of money (earned whatever the means). It is a normal human tendency to devise ways to keep that money by all means and break the law most of the times if they can beat the system. Trying to catch them also became more political issue rather an ethical one. This is the reality game show ... few win and few lose. There is nothing big deal about it.

Few of these people spend part of their fortune to the needy people ... we need to thank them.
