Union Law Minister M Veerappa Moily on Wednesday supported the government's decision to drop prosecution proceedings against Italian businessman Ottavio Quattrocchi, an accused in the Bofors payoff case, saying there was nothing left to do in the matter.

"This case is going on since long. If he (Quattrocchi) could be brought back and any conviction could be held, then the case could be pursued with a positive result. But ultimately nothing positive was found," Moily told a television channel.
