Mumbai, March 8 : The Enforcement Directorate officials have found documents from Hasan Ali Khan's residence linking him with the notorious Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi.
A notary public document dated June 29, 2003 registered in London showed Hasan Ali Khan had opened an account with UBS in its Singapore branch in 1982 and had deposited $ 1.5 million, an ED official said.
The document showed Khashoggi had deposited $ 300 million in this account from the New York branch of UBS, ED sources revealed. Hasan Ali Khan had a longstanding relationship with arms dealers.
It is alleged that he was being used as a conduit to transfer offshore unaccounted money collected in the form of slush funds from arms deals in India.
Though the ED officials have found the connection, it needs sustained interrogation for Hasan Ali Khan to reveal the names of real people who were in receipt of slush funds.
