Yet another scam has come to the fore.This time,it is a scam of chopper deal of Rs.3600 crore for the purchase of 12 three engine AW101 Helicopters.After the Bofors during Rajiv Ghandhi regime,this is the second scam involving an Italian company.
The scam has been exposed with the arrest of Giuseppe Orsi,the head of the Italian Defence and Aerospace Giant,Finmeccanica.The dean was signed with Finmeccanica’s subsidiary AugstaWestland in 2010 and Italian prosecutors suspect that around Rs.362 crore,10 per cent of the contracted amount,were ploughed back as kickbacks to ensure AugustaWestland won the contract.
How many scams during the regime of Manmohan Singh! Can anybdy count,
