VVIP chopper case: Delhi HC denies bail to alleged middleman Michel
The Delhi High Court on Friday turned down the bail applications filed by Christian James Michel, the alleged middleman in the Rs 3,600 crore AgustaWestland VVIP chopper scam.
Justice Manoj Ohri pronounced the order after hearing the submissions by Michel’s counsel Aljo K. Joseph, CBI’s counsel D.P. Singh and Additional Solicitor General S.V. Raju for the ED. A detailed order copy is expected to be made available later in the day.
Michel, a British citizen, was extradited to India on December 5, 2018 from the UAE. On his arrival in India, he was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and days later, arrested by the financial probe agency, the Enforcement Directorate.
