In its final report presented to Special Judge Arvind Kumar, the IWC has named the two alleged intermediaries Michel and Saxena, and 13 others.
The court is likely to take the matter for consideration on September 21.
According to sources, the investigation report released on Friday details the alleged role that Michel, Saxena and others played in betraying bribes from politicians, bureaucrats and officials of the Indian Air Force (IAF) in India in the scam.
The sources said that the agency, which earlier this year had requested the sanction of the competent authorities to prosecute former Defense Secretary Shashi Kant Sharma, has not identified him as a defendant as the request has not yet been granted.
The agency told the court that it could file another supplemental charge sheet on the matter later.
The first charge sheet in the case was filed in September 2017 naming former IAF chief SP Tyagi and others.
The agency had previously told the court that “during the course of the investigation, copies of classified / secret official documents of the Indian Air Force (IAF) / Ministry of Defense (MoD), such as Operational Requirements for VVIP helicopters prior to the issuance of Request for Proposal and other incriminating documents with more than one lakh of pages received from Italy and Switzerland “.
He had also said that a “pay slip” retrieved from Michel, prepared at his dictation, shows that an amount of “30 million euros was paid / proposed to be paid to IAF officers, the Defense Ministry, bureaucrats, politicians and relatives in India for showing favor in the VVIP helicopter deal. ”
The applicant had entered into up to five contracts through two of its firms to legitimize kickbacks / kickbacks in the acquisition of VVIP helicopters by the Ministry of Defense, India, the CBI said.
“Westland Group Companies paid an amount of 42.27 million euros to the applicant’s companies as kickbacks / kickbacks without performing any work against receipt of such amount,” it said.
He said that of the bribes he received from AgustaWestland, Michel made payments to various people in India.
Michel was detained by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on December 5 last year after his extradition from Dubai, while the DE detained him on December 22 last year. He is currently in judicial custody in both cases.
Dubai-based businessman Saxena was extradited to India on January 31, 2019 in connection with the scam related to the purchase of 12 VVIP helicopters from AgustaWestland.
While Michel is currently in judicial custody, Saxena is out on bail in the money laundering case brought by ED.
ED had previously arrested Saxena, but was later granted bail after the agency supported his request to become the approver of the case.
The agencies had told the court that Michel earned 24.25 million euros and 1,60,96,245 pounds from the now-scrapped AgustaWestland deal.
The CBI has alleged that the agreement signed in February 2010 to supply VVIP helicopters worth € 556.262 million caused an estimated loss of € 398.21 million (about Rs 2666 million) to the public purse.
