A Delhi court today sent Dubai-based businessman Rajeev Saxena, the co-accused in the 3,600 crore rupees Agusta-Westland VVIP chopper case to four-day Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody. The court also sent corporate lobbyist Deepak Talwar to a seven-day ED custody in a money laundering case.
Saxena along with Talwar was extradited to India from United Arab Emirates early today in two separate corruption cases.
The ED had summoned Saxena multiple times in the AgustaWestland scam and had arrested his wife from Chennai airport in 2017. The ED alleged that Rajeev Saxena, his wife and their two Dubai-based firms routed the proceeds of crime and further layered and integrated in buying the immovable properties/shares among others.
Talwar is being probed for allegedly concealing income of more than 1,000 crore rupees and also for facilitating aviation contracts during the UPA regime.
