AgustaWestland VVIP-chopper case accused Gautam Khaitan held in fresh case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested lawyer Gautam Khaitan, accused in the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper case, in connection with a fresh case of possession of black money and money laundering, officials said today. They said Khaitan was placed under arrest yesterday night by the agency sleuths under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). He'll be produced before a Delhi court today, they said.

Information
ED lodged a criminal case after I-T department filed case

Sources said a fresh criminal case under PMLA was filed by ED against Khaitan on the basis of a case filed by the I-T Department against him under Section 51 of the Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act, 2015.

Allegation
Khaitan accused of possessing black money and stash assets

Khaitan has been alleged to have been operating and holding a number of foreign accounts illegally and thereby possessing black money and stash assets, officials said. It's understood that the investigative agencies have got fresh leads against Khaitan after the questioning of Christian Michel, an alleged middleman in the VVIP chopper deal with AgustaWestland, who was extradited by India from Dubai in December last.

Details
Khaitan, out on bail, was arrested few years ago

The I-T Department had last week carried out searches against Khaitan in this new case filed under anti-black money law. Khaitan had been arrested by ED and CBI a few years ago in connection with their probe in the Rs 3,600-crore AgustaWestland case. A charge sheet was also filed against him by the two agencies and he was currently out on bail, they said.
