Rajiv Saxena, the prime accused turned approver in the Rs 3600 crore VVIP chopper scam, claimed that kickbacks received from Agusta Westland were to be shared with political leaders who had influenced the decision.
Kavita added that Ratul Puri had warned her not to go to the ED or answer calls from any 'unknown' numbers. She accused Puri of taking her iPad and refusing to return it, saying it was lost during income-tax raids.
The money laundering case was filed against Puri after the alleged irregularities in the purchase of 12 VVIP choppers from Italy-based Finmeccanica’s British subsidiary, AgustaWestland came to the fore.
Ratul Puri transacted huge amount of money for lavish stays in various hotels and spent $11,43,980 in a single night at a night club called Provocateur, stated ED.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) today arrested Ratul Puri, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Kamal Nath's nephew, from Delhi in connection with a Rs 354 crore bank fraud case.
