Oops the Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI) failed to get big Q again. This time it seems India will have to foot the bill for Quatrocchi's defence as well. Who cares? What is a few million dollars when we have already spent God knows how many pursuing him through St. Kitts, Malasia and several other very beautiful tourist spots. These Italians sure have taste. Must be a pleasure to have such a worthy opponent who is not only slippery than an olive oiled eel but chooses the most exotic places to get caught in. Imagine if he had surfaced in Zimbabwe or Afghanistan or in the middle of Sahara. No five star hotels, no belly dancers, no beaches with sun tanned naked women. Don't our sleuths and civil servants deserve to relax after all the hard work they put in for the tax payers? Who wants to play with Dawood Ibrahim? He used to live in Dubai which may be a very rich Arab state but can hardly be compared to Buones Aires for entertainment. Now he is hiding in Pakistan which may have very good biryani but is otherwise a very down market. Spoilsport. Big Q, on the other hand, loves to play and in very expensive places. He may have made a lot of money from the Bofors deal but he is putting it to good purpose. By surfacing in exotic places from time to time he is teaching the CBI fellows and lawyers about the places where the rich hang out. This is invaluable knowledge which will help in all the scandals that are to follow. I am not suggesting for a moment that our CBI men are enjoying all this running around. I am sure they will be concentrating on their goal all the time and will have no time for entertainment. Keep at it chaps. After all we Indians love Italians do we not?
