According to the MLA who is a miner and politician, at least 1.3 million tonnes of iron ore was exported from Goa in 2010.
Salgaoncar also submitted documents that revealed that iron ore was exported before guidelines were implemented in Jul 2010.
The MLA will be charged Rs 30 crore in royalty along with interest, revealed the Mining Department. The department still has to decide if he will face any action or not.
Salgaoncar's confession comes after the news of illegal iron ore exported from Goa came into light.According to a report from the Comptroller Auditor General (CAG), at least 10.9 million metric tonnes of iron ore was exported from the Goan ports from 2004-2006 without paying royalty.
