VVIP Helicopter Scam: India allowed to question middleman

An Italian court on Saturday allowed Indian officials to question Guido Haschke in next hearing on Dec-13. Haschke, accused of bribing IAF officials to swing VVIP helicopter deal (2010) for UK-based firm Agusta Westland, has claimed to have contacted IAF chief SP Tyagi. Meanwhile, the Defense Ministry is preparing to scrap the deal with Agusta for violating pre-contract integrity pact.
