AugustaWestland scam : ED files chargesheet against Christian Michel
New Delhi, June 15 (IBNS) The Enforcement Directorate filed a fresh chargesheet against British national Christian Michel and two other middlemen in connection with the AgustaWestland chopper scam, reports said.
Michel had allegedly played a key role in the Rs 3,727-crore deal for AgustaWestland to supply 12 VVIP choppers in 2010. The deal was scrapped by the previous UPA government in 2014.
India had earlier approached Britain for extraditing the middleman.
AgustaWestland, a subsidiary of Italian defence giant Finmeccanica, allegedly paid more than Rs 375 crore as bribe to secure the deal.
