The Enforcement Directorate (ED) began the questioning of former Goa chief minister Digambar Kamat in connection with Louis Berger bribery case here on Thursday.
The Crime Branch of Goa police, along with the Enforcement Directorate, had in August, 2015, raided five establishments of Kamat and his kin in connection with the case.
The local office of ED had then filed an FIR on 7 August, 2015, against the former Goa minister and officials of Louis Berger International Inc.
The houses and offices of Kamat as well as his brother-in-law and daughter-in-law's residence and offices were searched.
Earlier, Louis Berger, a US-based firm, had revealed to the US authorities that it had paid bribes to some persons in the Goa government in 2010 to get a consultancy contract for a water and sewerage project funded by Japan International Cooperation Agency.
On July 21, 2015, the Goa crime branch had registered a First Information Report in this scam.
