After scrutinising the phone transcripts of Augusta Westland deal which Central Bureau of Investigations procured from Italy, the agency may soon examine the former air chief SP Tyagi and his three cousins in connection with the case, sources said. Tyagi is an accused in the case.
Italian authorities had handed over the transcripts of telephone conversations intercepted by them in the VVIP helicopter scam few days ago.
CBI sources said a CD has been given to the officials of Indian Mission in Milan which contains some of the transcripts of the conversations which were intercepted by Italian agencies during their probe into the scam. They said these transcripts are in Italian and agency is getting them translated for its own probe in Delhi.
The records are crucial to the CBI probe as they reportedly contain several conversations related to the alleged remittances made to cousins Sanjeev Tyagi alias Julie, Rajeev Tyagi alias Docsa and Sandeep Tyagi and other middlemen to clinch the deal, sources said.
The sources also said a set of over 40,000 documents related to contours of money trail has already been received by the CBI from the Italian court after Defence Ministry became a civil party in the ongoing case in the European country. With the help of phone intercepts, the agency wants to corroborate claims made in these conversations with the details of actual fund transfers to bolster its evidence against the accused in the chopper scam.
