‘No violations in Rafale deal with India’, says Dassault Aviation

French aerospace major Dassault Aviation, the makers of Rafale, said on Thursday that the deal to supply 36 fighter jets went through numerous checks and no violations were reported. The company also said that it has implemented strict internal procedures to prevent corruption.

“Numerous controls are carried out by official organizations, including the French Anti-Corruption Agency. No violations were reported, notably in the frame of the contract with India for the acquisition of 36 Rafales,” Dassault aviation spokesperson said in a statement.

The statement, said the spokesperson, is in connection with certain allegations reported in the press about the contract signed in 2016 with India.
