The Enforcement Directorate (ED)
questioned disgraced former Foreign
Minister Natwar Singh for a second day
in the Iraqi oil-for-food scam.
Singh's son Jagat Singh was
interrogated earlier and had
reportedly confessed to using his
father to gain contacts within Iraq to
obtain oil coupons. Of these coupons,
some worth about USD 750,000 was
actually lifted. He then used his
friend Andaleeb Seghal and Jamil
Saeedi's Hamdeen Exports to siphon the
money into India. They had used the
Jordan National Bank and a
London-based relative (Aditya Khanna)
of Singh Sr. to launder the proceeds.
