NEW DELHI: More evidence has emerged against Agusta Westland bribery accused Christian Michel 's alleged role in pushing Eurofighter's case during the UPA regime in 2010 after Dassault Aviation 's Rafale was shortlisted where he suggested lobbying key figures in the political establishment.Official documents received from Italian authorities, in connection with the Rs 423 crore Agusta Westland bribery case, has given investigating agencies some key dispatches from Michel that indicate his contact with "three bosses" in India who, he claimed, could be worked on to get Eurofighter back in the race for India's acquisition of fighter aircraft .The dispatches, which are in the April-May 2010 period, speak about the importance of identifying bureaucratic and political "navigators" in the Indian establishment who could help push the deal for the Eurofighter."Only three candidates are available for this... and only one is available right now," he is believed to have told Finmaccanica bosses, hinting at his proximity with decision makers in India. Michel also claimed to be in constant touch with then Eurofighter CEO Enzo Casolini. Interestingly, Casolini had claimed in 2013 that Eurofighter was still in contention when the UPA government was in advanced negotiations with Dassault Aviation for acquisition of 126 Rafale jets.Investigators expressed surprise at the confidence shown by Michel in pushing Eurofighter's case despite the consortium being out of the race because of high prices and also as it was a single-engine aircraft compared to the twin-engined Rafale.Sources in investigating agencies said Michel was in possession of some official documents, including technical evaluation reports on Rafale, going by the information he has provided in dispatches to Finmeccanica. The leak of secret files is under investigation by Indian agencies.Michel was extradited from the UAE and arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on December 22 last year in the Agusta Westland money laundering case. He is currently in judicial custody in Tihar jail. The agency has sought court permission to further question him for suspected involvement in other defence deals.In his communication with Finmeccanica, Michel went into details of pricing of Eurofighter, instructing the European consortium partner to tweak the proposal in such a way that the pricing structure is complex and composite cost not easily verifiable.TOI had reported in its edition on March 4 that Indian agencies were probing the role played by Michel in the "go slow" on the Rafale deal during UPA-2. Agencies are probing the intense corporate lobbying over the fighter deal and Michel's role in events leading to the Manmohan Singh government putting Rafale acquisition in a virtual freeze.The source said Michel's reputation as a man who managed things soared after the Rs 3,600 crore Agusta Westland deal for the supply of 12 VVIP choppers to India went through. By 2010, he had become known to have "deep inroads" into the Indian political system.
