The man at the centre of the #AugustaBreakthrough chopper deal scam has a long India history — from admitting to being a commission agent for the purchase of French Mirage jets to a series of contracts he had with Italian arms firm that paid him $48.6 million for ‘work’ done here
2 Michel, whose father too was active in the Indian arms market in the 1970s and ’80s, is believed to have worked a number of defence deals here but was never exposed before the AgustaWestland scam hit the headlines
3 Authorities here have booked him for routing money from bogus contracts — including a false claim of buying helicopters from Pawan Hans — through a net of companies to individuals in India who influenced the $556-million deal.
