New Delhi, Apr 4 (UNI): The Enforcement Directorate on Thursday filed a charge sheet against Christian Michel, the British businessman and alleged middleman in the sensational case relating to reported kickbacks in a deal to purchase helicopters to ferry VVIPs.

The Central Bureau of Investigation has alleged that Mr Michel had entered into 12 contracts with armaments major AgustaWestland to conceal kickbacks of Euro 42.27 million received on procurement of VVIP helicopters by government of India.

After CBI, the Enforcement Directorate also initiated proceedings against Mr Michel under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.

Mr Michel, produced before a CBI court on December 5 after extradition from Dubai to India, is at present in judicial custody.

Directorate of Enforcement, after investigation, filed a supplementary charge sheet of more than 2,000 pages against Mr Michel in the court of Special Judge Arvind Kumar.

ED has also named some fresh individuals and firms as accused in the case.
