British government will wait for proof about any alleged business malpractices AgustaWestland indulged in India. They expect both New Delhi and Rome will provide the proof after their investigation is complete.
This was stated by the highest ranking United Kingdom Trade and Investment Defence and Security (UKTIDS) representative present at the Defexpo ’14. Alan Malpas, the regional director Africa, Middle-East, Central and South Asia of UKTIDS said this in a conversation with Millennium Post.
This statement is important in light of the fact that a source close to former air chief marshal, SP Tyagi, said on Friday that the CBI has questioned the former ACM of the IAF almost a year ago.
The fact that a year has elapsed between then and now flies in the face of the defence minister, AK Antony telling the media on Thursday, ‘The investigation is continuing in India and also at the Italian court.’
It also brings to question his statement in Parliament that the entry ‘FAM’ in the confiscated diary pages of the Italian middleman, Guido Haschke refers to the ‘Tyagi family,’ because the CBI has not been able to prove this through its own investigation.
