VVIP Chopper case: Court reserves order on bail plea of Christian Michel for Feb. 16

A Delhi court on Wednesday reserved for February 16 its order on bail plea of Christian Michel, who was arrested in connection with an alleged scam in the ₹3,600-crore AgustaWestland VVIP chopper deal.

Special Judge Arvind Kumar directed both the parties to file short written arguments in the case by February 15.

During the hearing, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) opposed Mr. Michel’s bail plea, saying the court has already taken cognisance of the charge sheet in the case and the accused cannot seek bail at this juncture.

Mr. Michel, extradited from Dubai, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on December 22, 2018. He was sent to judicial custody in both the ED and the CBI cases.

Mr. Michel is among the three alleged middlemen being probed in the case by the ED and the CBI. The others are Guido Haschke and Carlo Gerosa.
