The chargesheet was filed in the designated court in Hyderabad accusing Raju and Gupta under various sections of the Indian Penal Code for allegedly indulging in siphoning off money to tax-haven countries, including Mauritius.

As per the chargesheet, "the accused forged board resolutions and unauthorisedly obtained loans to the tune of Rs 1,220 crore for Satyam Computer.

"They also prepared fake invoices worth Rs 430 crore," the chargesheet said.

The chargesheet comes within days of the CBI team going to other countries to probe the alleged diversion of funds by Raju and re-routing back to India, official sources said.

The funds were routed back to India via European nations as "investments" in nearly 300 alleged fictitious companies floated in the name of his relatives, they said.
