Former air force chief Fali Major named in VVIP chopper scam
February 07, 2014
Former Indian Air Force chief Fali Major has been named in the infamous AgustaWestland VVIP chopper, reports CNN-IBN.
The defence lawyers for AgustaWestland's parent company Finmeccanica
have brought up the name of Major and claimed that
he accepted the hospitality of the company officials in Italy on his
trip to the country.
On Wednesday, former senior Vice President of Agusta, Giacomo Saporano
had said that former Air chief SP Tyagi had accepted the firm's
hospitality in Italy in 2007.
Fali Major was the air chief from April 2007 to May 2009 and
Finmeccanica lawyers are claiming that he knew more about technical
specifications since he is a helicopter pilot and hence was being hosted
by the firm.
