The Supreme Court of India on Friday (6th Dec) has requested the CBI to respond within four weeks to British national Christian Michel’s bail plea related to the AgustaWestland chopper scam. Michel, extradited in December 2018, has been in custody since after previous bail applications were denied. The case involves significant corruption allegations linked to VVIP helicopter contracts.
The Supreme Court has today issued a notice to the Enforcement Directorate regarding Abbas Ansari’s bail plea in a money laundering case. Ansari is accused of extorting money and his wife allegedly facilitated communication. The Allahabad High Court previously denied his bail request, prompting Ansari to challenge the decision in the Supreme Court.
