NEW DELHI: In a major breakthrough in the VVIP chopper scandal, co-accused Rajiv Saxena has agreed to turn an approver. He is all set to move an application in a local Court today seeking to become an approver in the case, said people with direct knowledge of the matter. His request will be supported by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Saxena was enlarged on regular bail on February 25 on medical grounds after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) refused to oppose his bail. The development assumes significance because Saxena has been described as the “key money launderer” by ED. Saxena, as first reported by ET, has named two high profile individuals during his questioning. One of them is a close relative of a top Congress leader while the other allegedly had in possession of hand written diaries detailing the kickbacks received for the VVIP chopper deal.
