New Delhi, December 29: Ought to be one of the worst nightmare for the Gandhi family; unearthing the VVIP Chopper scam, the Enforcement Directorate informed Delhi Court that the alleged middleman Christian Michel in the Agusta Westland VVIP Chopper Scam has revealed Sonia Gandhi’s name during the interrogation session. It was not only Sonia Gandhi but also ‘son of the Italian lady’ who was mentioned by him. The Delhi Court has however sent Christian Michel to a seven day remand.

 

As Enforcement Directorate placed the whereabouts of the investigation before the Delhi Court, the agency swiftly revealed how the Congress party was involved in the scam. In a shocking revelation by the ED, the agency told the court that Michel mentioned someone as ‘the big man’ or ‘R’ while talking to other people. Asserting the same, ED said, “We need to decipher who the “big man” referred to as “R” is in the communication between Christian Michel and other people. We need to confront Michel with other people to decipher who “the big man” or “R” is.” Undoubtedly it may claim to be referred to Rahul Gandhi, ‘son of the Italian lady’.

The ED also stated that Michel identified how Tata was been offered the deal and come into picture and how HAL was removed from the deal. While the hearing was still underway, ED learned that Christian Michel has also spoken about “the son of the Italian lady” and how he was going to become the “next prime minister of the country”.

The agency however has sought an appeal to the Delhi court to ban Michel’s lawyer Aljo K Joseph’s access to him alleging that he is being tutored from outside. Michel’s lawyer Aljo K Joseph admitted to the court that Christian Michel had handed him the papers. “But it’s the fault of the ED that they allowed it to happen,” he said. Joseph further said that Michel Christian had a query regarding something and how legal response needed to be given. The lawyer asserted how Michel tried to give them some paper and it was taken away by ED.

On Michel’s lawyer Aljo Joseph’s access to him, the Delhi court ordered Christian Michel’s lawyers to maintain a distance while meeting him. Court restricts the time limit of lawyers to meet Michel to 15 minutes every morning and evening.

Considered as one of the biggest scam coming into limelight, the Agusta Westland VVIP Chopper scam by the Congress shows how the family stooped to a ground level keeping the country’s defence at stake for their own benefits.
