Awaiting confirmation on reports about Michel's extradition: CBI

September 19, 2018 19:01

The CBI said on Wednesday that it was awaiting confirmation from the Ministry of External Affairs on reports about the extradition of Christian Michel, an alleged middleman in AgustaWestland helicopter scam case, from the UAE.

A Dubai court had reportedly cleared the extradition of Michel to India on September 2, 2018.

CBI sources said the agency was in touch with MEA officials but they did not receive any official communication from the United Arab Emirates.

"We are awaiting official communication in this regard," one of the sources said.

The CBI had filed chargesheet in the matter in September last year, naming former IAF Chief S P Tyagi as one of the accused.
