AgustaWestland: Tyagi brothers questioned by CBI

New Delhi, May 20: The Central Bureau of Investigation questioned the Tyagi brothers in connection with the AgustaWestland case.

The Tyagi brothers cousins of former Air Force Chief, S P Tyagi were questioned in connection with the alleged financial dealings with the AgustaWestland middlemen Guido Haschke and Carlo Gerosa.

The Tyagi brothers who were questioned on an earlier occasion for nine hours were once again summoned for interrogation.

The CBI had on the last date of questioning suggested that the answers given by them was not satisfactory. They had been called in to issue a clarification too, but the answers were not satisfactory.

An Italian court order running into 225 pages had said that payoffs were made to Indian officials. The court had also noted that companies owned by middleman Christian Michel promised and effectively paid through the Tyagi brothers.

In this case the former Air chief too is an accused in the case. It is alleged that he had been paid off through his cousins. The allegation against him is that he had made alterations to the specifications to favour AgustaWestland.
