PANJIM: The Economic Offences Cell (EOC) of Goa Police on Thursday told the JMFC Court they need to find where the money withdrawn from the fake GCA account has been parked and submitted that the three senior Goa Cricket Association (GCA) officials arrested for misappropriating Rs 3.13 crore are not cooperating.
“It is submitted that during the investigation the accused were interrogated at length, however, they did not disclose most of the facts,” Public Prosecutor Poonam Bharne told the court arguing against the bail plea filed by GCA President Chetan Dessai, Secretary Vinod Phadke and Treasurer Akbar Mulla.
Bharne argued that police custody of the accused is required to find the audit book, minutes book and other documents pertaining to the period 2007-08.
The Public Prosecutor also claimed that the trio’s interrogation is required to find out where the money has been parked and who withdrew the money from the bank. She mentioned that police need to find more associates and to prevent the accused from making any inducements, threats or promises to persons acquainted with the case not to disclose the facts.
