Another Indian Link of AgustaWestland Middleman Christian Michel Traced

New Delhi: Another money trail has been traced in the alleged multi-crore AgustaWestland VVIP chopper scam. CNN-News18 has learnt that a crystal dealer, Suraj Prakash Mehra, was in regular touch with AgustaWestland middleman Christian Michel.

Mehra was allegedly in touch with Michel and Danish national Christine Spliid when India was finalising the AgustaWestland deal. Documents show that Mehra’s twin children are partners with Christine Spliid and Christian Michel in UK-based company Beetle Nut Home Ltd.

CNN-News18 also tried to track down the names listed on the books of Mehra’s Crystal and Lifestyle. It was found that almost all the addresses of shareholders were completely fake. The company Yogya Infotech which holds 15,000 shares in Crystal and Lifestyle has a bogus address.

Even the company Minarva Buildtech (P) Limited, which holds 25,000 shares in Crystal and Lifestyle, does not exist at the given address.

The home of a minority shareholders Karan Sethi, who is also a director along with Suraj Parkash Mehra in the company, was tracked down. Karan’s father PK Sethi said that came across Christian Michel’s name through TV channels and newspapers. He claimed that Karan is currently in Mumbai.

The address mentioned in the name of Suraj Parkash Mehra was also found locked.
