In a
massive development in the Rs 3,600-crore AgustaWestland VVIP chopper scam, the
Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday filed a chargesheet against Christian
Michel James and two other middlemen, sources state.
Michel,
has been accused by the CBI and the ED of working at the behest of
AgustaWestland and its parent Italian major Finmeccanica.
He has
been accused of routing funds to India meant to bribe officials.
Earlier,
he had asserted that he never met Congress President Sonia Gandhi, and that he
is ready to be questioned by Indian investigators, as he wants to clear his
name.
Earlier
this month, the ED reportedly conducted searches on the premises in the city of
Suraj Prakash Mehra, a businessman who was allegedly in contact with Christian
Michel.
