Paula Maino, KGB and 20000 crores:

Dr Yevgenia Albats – a Soviet journalist who was appointed as member of the official KGB Commission set up by President Yeltsin in 1991. She had full access to secret files of the KGB.

She authored a book, The State within a State: KGB and Its Hold on Russia. Dr. Albats disclosed in her book that:

KGB chief Victor Chebrikov in December 1985 had sought in writing from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU).

He asked for authorization to make payments in US dollars to the family members of Mr. Rajiv Gandhi, namely Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Ms Paola Maino, mother of Sonia Gandhi.”

CPSU payments were authorized by a resolution, CPSU/CC/No 11228/3 dated 20/12/1985;

and endorsed by the USSR Council of Ministers in Directive No 2633/Rs dated 20/12/1985.

These payments had been coming since 1971, as payments received by Sonia Gandhi’s family and “have been audited in CPSU/CC resolution No 11187/22 OP dated 10/12/1984.”

In 1992 the media confronted the Russian government with the Albats disclosure. The Russian government confirmed the veracity of the disclosure and defended it as necessary for ‘Soviet ideological interest.

This puts out in open the link between Sonia Gandhi & KGB.

With the information available in Public Domain, I have the below questions:
(6/8)

Why did the government of India not pursue investigations into such a sensitive matter involving the payout by KGB to the Rajiv Gandhi family including Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi, when the truth of the evidence can be easily verified by the Russian government?

The Delhi High Court reason for its stay order was that the evidence written in a book was inconclusive, therefore they disposed of the case. But why the investigation agency – CBI did not investigate the complaint and links of Rajiv Gandhi family to KGB.
