ARVIND MAYARAM: India’s Former Finance minister involved in corruption investigation
The Gateshead company, which produces bank notes, recently learnt that India’s Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI-I) began investigating Mayaram’s activities before 2016.
Together with Finance Ministry and the Reserve Bank of India officials, he faces charges of criminal conspiracy, corruption and abusing his official position.

De La Rue learnt of the scandal following Press reports and said it had not worked for the Indian government or central bank since 2016.
