VVIP Chopper Scam: The ED told the Supreme Court that during Christian Michel's custodial interrogation, he had tried to pass confidential papers to his counsel at the time of legal access.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court opposing British citizen Christian Michel's plea seeking bail in connection with the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper scam.
The ED told the Supreme Court that during the course of Michel's custodial interrogation, the accused had tried to pass confidential papers to his counsel at the time of legal access.
"Further investigation in the present case is still ongoing and many crucial documents are required to be collected across jurisdictions for the purpose of the investigation and therefore it is strongly apprehended that he might try to tamper the witnesses or evidence and obstruct the judicial process," the ED said.
Christian Michel James, during his custodial interrogation, undertook to provide the bank statements of his companies and the agreements and other relevant documents, the ED told the court.
