Congress is right now keeping its spirits up in a spirited defence of its top leadership currently under the scanner in the AgustaWestland helicopter scam. Christian Michel alleged that he was pressurized by Indian investigators to incriminate Gandhi's in the scam.
Michel confessed that more number of people have contacted him with the proposal that he denounce any member of the Gandhi family and they even promised to drop all charges against him. Michel wrote a letter to the Registrar of the International Tribunal and in that he said,
"I am making it very clear once again that if I was willing to denounce and member of the Gandhi family relating to the so-called VVIP helicopter scandal, all charges and investigations against me would be dropped. But I turned down the offer and within a week an arrest warrant was thrown on me and Indian authorities contacted Interpol and used me to put more pressure."
Speaking to a leading magazine, he further said, "I have sued Guido Haschke (another middleman in the Agusta case) in Switzerland. Haschke forged the documents that have been given to the Italian courts. I am ready to submit documents and proof related to the case through the Indian embassy."
