Is Michel trying to cast a shadow of doubt over Augusta probe?

One of the middlemen named by the ED in its chargesheet to a UAE court, Christian Michel, has been under detention for over a month in Dubai, his counsel Rosemary Patrizi in Milan and sister Sasha Ozeman in the UK said in separate telephone interviews.

The investigators questioning middleman Michel for the alleged VVIP chopper kickbacks are trying to extract a false confession from him that he personally knew UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi when the scandal-hit deal for AgustaWestland luxury helicopters was clinched, his lawyer besides his sister told India Today.
