The CBI has filed an FIR against former IAF Chief S P Tyagi and 12 others for alleged cheating and criminal conspiracy in Rs 3600 crore VVIP Helicopter deal. Two new names, which were not part of the agency's preliminary enquiry, have also been included in the FIR.
They include Satish Bagrodia and Pratap Aggarwal, Chairman and Managing Director of IDS Infotech respectively. Tyagi is first Chief of the Indian Air Force to be named in a corruption or criminal case by the CBI.
After carrying out its preliminary enquiry for nearly 16 days, the agency gathered evidence to register a case in connection with alleged payment of Rs. 362-crore bribe to swing the 12 helicopter deal in favour of AgustaWestland.
Italian company Finmeccanica allegedly paid a commission to the middlemen out of which huge sums were transferred to Indian nationals through Tunisia and Mauritius, the PE said.
The money was sent in the garb of engineering contracts with two Indian companies IDS Infotech and Aeromatrix, it said.
The Italian agencies on 15th February had arrested Orsi, former Chairman of the Finmeccanica, parent company of AgustaWestland, on charges of paying bribe for the contract.
