New Delhi/IBNS: The  Enforcement Directorate on Friday said it has attached assets totalling to USD 50.90 Million (equivalent to Rs 385.44 Crores) of  AgustaWestland Money Laundering case accused Rajiv Saxena.

"ED has issued Provisional Attachments Orders under PMLA, attaching villa in Palm Jumeirah, Dubai and balances in five Swiss bank accounts totaling to USD 50.90 Million (equivalent to Rs. 385.44 Crores) of accused Rajiv Saxena in #AgustaWestland case and #BankFraud case," ED tweetd.

Saxena was earlier extradited from Dubai to New Delhi.

The VVIP chopper scam came to the forefront recently after an Italian court reportedly said that the  previous Congress-led UPA government did not share critical documents with investigators.

The deal involved buying 12 choppers for VVIPs when the Congress government was in power.

SP Tyagi and Chopper scam:

In 2016,  former Air Force Chief SP Tyagi was arrested in connection with the VVIP chopper deal scam.

He was the first ever military chief of the nation who was arrested.
