NEW DELHI: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate have raised concerns about Italian defence group Finmeccanica ’s unit AgustaWestland with the defence ministry after the company evinced interest in participating in the Narendra Modi government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative.AgustaWestland is under the scanner for allegations that it paid bribes to swing a helicopter deal with India. In a recent communication to the ministry, the company conveyed its keenness to participate in the government’s drive to boost domestic production, and cited an Italian court order that clears it of charges in the helicopter deal. After receiving AgustaWestland’s communication, the ministry had asked the two agencies for updates in the case.The ED, which is probing allegations of money laundering against AgustaWestland, informed the ministry that investigations are in “advanced” stages and they are in the process of sending letters rogatory (LRs) to Switzerland and the United Kingdom in the matter. Earlier, the ED had sent LRs to Italy and Tunisia in a bid to unearth the money trail in the multi-crore deal.ET had reported on April 23 that the ministry has sought responses from the CBI and ED on the communication from AgustaWestland. In its communication, the ED also informed that properties worth Rs 1.12 croree belonging to one of the middlemen, Christian Michel , have been attached under Prevention of Money Laundering Act and that they are in the process of identifying more bank accounts and properties.The CBI, too, has indicated that the probe against the company is still on and the replies of the LR are awaited. The agency has refrained from sharing with the ministry “specific” details of its investigation.
