Today, On 28th February, The Delhi High Court reserved its order on the bail plea of Christian Michel James in the Enforcement Directorate (ED) case related to the AgustaWestland chopper scam. James is accused of being a middleman in the deal for procuring 12 VVIP helicopters. He was extradited from the United Arab Emirates in 2018 to face trial in India. The case involves allegations of corruption and money laundering in the high-profile defense deal.
The Delhi High Court directed Ashneer Grover and his wife to provide a Rs 80 crore property security before traveling to the US. They were also prohibited from visiting UAE due to their golden visa status. The Economic Offences Wing opposed their travel request, citing concerns of owning properties abroad and being a flight risk. They are accused of a fraud worth Rs 81 crore at BharatPe.
