New Delhi, July 18
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a supplementary chargesheet in the AgustaWestland VVIP helicopter bribery scam against former Air Force Chief SP Tyagi, his two cousins, lawyer Gautam Khaitan, two Italian middlemen and Finmeccanica.
The chargesheet was filed before special judge Arvind Kumar and will be taken up for consideration on July 20.
The chargesheet, filed through special public prosecutor NK Matta, names as accused the Tyagi brothers, including SP Tyagi, Khaitan, Italian middlemen Carlo Gerosa and Guido Haschke, and Finmeccanica, the parent company of AgustaWestland.
It accuses them of laundering around 28 million euros.
According to the ED, money was laundered through multiple foreign companies that were used as fronts to park alleged kickbacks. The court was hearing a money-laundering case relating to the Rs 3,600-crore VVIP copter deal. On January 1, 2014, India had scrapped the contract with Finmeccanica’s British subsidiary AgustaWestland. — PTI
