Racing against time to meet the March 7 deadline to seek extradition of Bofors accused Ottavio Quattrocchi, the CBI is dispatching a team of two officers to Argentina on February 28, armed with relevant papers.

After the CBI initiated the papers for extradition, its request to the Ministry of External Affairs was routed through the Department of Personnel and Training, which oversees the agency.

The paperwork is expected to be completed on Monday and Tuesday, after which the two-member team will leave for Argentina, CBI sources said on Sunday.
