© thequint.comChopper Scam: Additional Charge Sheet Against Alleged Middleman
The Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday before a Delhi court filed a supplementary chargesheet against an alleged defence agent in a money laundering case relating to the AgustaWestland scam, PTI reported. The agency filed the chargesheet before Special Judge Arvind Kumar against Sushen Mohan Gupta, who was arrested under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Gupta’s alleged involvement was noticed through disclosures made by Dubai-based businessman Rajeev Saxena, the Enforcement Directorate said. After facing deportation from the United Arab Emirates and subsequent arrest in New Delhi, Saxena turned into an approver in the case.
The agency suspects that Gupta possesses details of payments made in the over Rs 3,500-crore deal that were used to purchase the AgustaWestland helicopters.
