Italian Investigative agencies exposed the AgustaWestland Helicopter Scam in depth.

The Italian investigation report says that money was given through front companies allegedly in the garb of bogus software development contracts.

According to Italian agencies, payments running into several million euros were made by AgustaWestland between 2007 and 2012 to IDS Tunisia and the money was routed to its Indian arm against alleged fake bills.

After that CBI Team went to Italy and got the papers.

The Central Bureau of Investigation on Monday registered a preliminary enquiry against 11 persons, including the former IAF Chief, Air Chief Marshal S.P. Tyagi, and his cousins
besides four companies, in connection with the alleged payment of kickbacks by Italian firm AgustaWestland through middlemen in India to bag the Rs. 3,600-crore deal for supply of 12 VVIP helicopters.
