AgustaWestland Row: Govt Forced Middleman to Name Sonia, Says Cong

Citing Michael’s lawyer, Congress said that the middleman was forced to sign a confession naming Sonia Gandhi.

A day after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a fresh chargesheet in a Delhi court in the AgustaWestland scam, the Congress launched a scathing attack on the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) alleging that the Modi government was forcing Christian Michael, the alleged middleman in the scandal, to name Sonia Gandhi in the case.

Citing Michael’s lawyer Rosemary Patrizi, Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala on Thursday, 19 July said that Michael was forced to sign a confession by the Modi government naming Sonia Gandhi.

Two days ago, Christian Michael was arrested in Dubai for AgustaWestland case. Now, his advocate Rosemary Patrizi clearly states that Modi govt and its agencies were forcing Christian Michael to sign false confession naming Sonia Gandhi ji.
