Being Treated Like a Monkey in a Zoo: Christian Michel
The jail authorities were summoned by Special CBI judge Arvind Kumar on Friday.
Christian Michel, the alleged middleman in the alleged AgustaWestland scam, said that he was being treated like a “monkey in a zoo” in the prison.
According to NDTV, Michel has alleged that he was being served “boiled food” in jail which has led him to lose 16 kg. He also said that he had requested for a European breakfast.
Michel also complained of inmates defecating in the open in the prison and asking him to do so too.
The jail authorities were summoned by Special CBI judge Arvind Kumar on Friday.
Court Issues Summons Against Michel’s Business Partner
A Delhi court Thursday, 9 May issued fresh summons against David Nigel John Syms, an alleged middleman and business partner of Michel, in the AgustaWestland VVIP chopper case.
Special judge Arvind Kumar summoned Syms, named as an accused in the supplementary charge sheet, to appear before the court.
Michel was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on 22 December last year after his extradition from Dubai.
He is among the three alleged middlemen being probed in the chopper scam by the ED and the Central Bureau of Investigation. The others are Guido Haschke and Carlo Gerosa.
