Christian Michel Calls "Mrs Gandhi", "Son Of Italian Lady”

Christian Michel, the alleged middleman in the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper case, has named "Mrs. Gandhi" and "the son of the Italian lady".

Though the words of Michael were not clearly said by the investigation agency, it can be understood that he is talking about Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.

Christian Michel was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate over money laundering charges in the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper scam after he was extradited from the UAE last month.

He was produced in Delhi's Patiala House Court after seven days in the probe agency's custody.

The Enforcement Directorate said the court "We need to decipher who is this 'big man' referred to as 'R' is in the communication between Christian Michel and other people. We need to confront Michel with other people to decipher this."

The probe agency said the British national had given a piece of paper while shaking hands with his lawyer.

When that paper was checked, it had questions related to Sonia Gandhi and wanted the lawyer's access to Michel withdrawn.

The court replied that the lawyer can meet Michel for 15 minutes in the morning and the evening instead of the usual hour-long meet, but they should have to maintain 3-feet distance.
