In 2016, former Leader of opposition Digambar Kamat was named as the prime conspirator in a bribery case involving US firm Louis Berger.

Besides Kamat, former PWD Churchill Alemao is also part of the list of seven who have been named in the supplementary chargesheet filed in Goa on Thursday.

The issue come to light after Louis Berger admitted to the violations under US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and agreed to pay penalty of $17.1 million to resolve the charge that it had bribed foreign officials.
