New Delhi: Bofors case accused Ottavia Quattrocchi is planning to sue Interpol for what he calls "breach of his human rights under the international law".
"Quattrocchi is incredibly annoyed at having been under suspicion for 20 years. He is currently looking into acting against those who are pursuing him," agency reports quoted Quattrocchi's lawyer Alejandro Freeland as saying.
Freeland said he believed his client has a strong case under both the international law and Argentine law against the CBI.
The Argentinean lawyer of the Italian businessman claimed under Section 11B of Argentine law, a man may not be tried for the same crime twice. "The CBI is violating the international tenet," he alleged.
Freeland said he was "very confident in his client's case and not worried about the prospect of a hearing" as he believes that the two Delhi High Court rulings, along with the judgements by Malaysian courts rejecting India's extradition request and the release of Quattrocchi's accounts in London last year will ensure that the Argentinean judge will reject the extradition petition.
Freeland, who said he was practicing law for over two decades in Argentina, believes that the petition will be rejected once the court has access to his client's testimony and the previous rulings.
Describing it as an "incredibly strange case", Freeland said he cannot believe that the CBI is pursuing an extradition as he can find "no logical, rational or juridical arguments that sustain this case."
