Indian Express finds 1,195 Indians in HSBC #SwissList
The Indian Express dropped a bombshell this morning by publishing the list of 100 Indians, who have amassed huge amount of money in HSBC Bank, Geneva in Switzerland. Noted industrialists Mukesh Ambani, Anil Ambani, Yashovardhan Birla, Chandru Lachhmandas Raheja and Dattaraj Salgaocar are figured in the list. Some of the accounts could be genuine and authentic too. But, the latest disclosure opened a pandora’s box.
Total money stashed abroad by the Indians in this list, is said to be over Rs 25,000 crore. The Indian Government is in possession of the list of 628 people since 2011. Action has been initiated against 60 of them so far by the Modi Government.
The Indian Express partnered in a three-month-long global project with the Washington-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) and the Paris-based Le Monde newspaper to find the secret list from HSBC. The report revealed names and account numbers, along with balances, of account holders from over 200 countries.
The newspaper said that the account holders with illicit money stashed abroad includes businessmen, diamond traders, politicians and NRIs/PIOs. The government has already appointed a SIT under Justice MB Shah to probe the black money issue. Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley met his Swiss counterpart Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting in Davos and sought Switzerland’s support to deal with the black money menace.
While reacting to the list, Arun Jaitley said that the government already knew most of the names, but only names are not enough to take action. Strong evidences are needed, he said. According to him, assessment of 350 account holders has already been done and rest will be completed by March 31. The government has initiated action against 60 people so far, he added.
