What's the matter:-

The Congress-led UPA government had signed a deal with Agusta Westland in February 2010 for the purchase of 12 VVIP helicopters worth about Rs 3600 crore. Agusta was Finmeccanica Westland's parent company, which has now become a Leonardo Spa. In this, Italian investigating agencies alleged payment of a commission of Rs 360 crore in 2012. It was alleged that the company fed money to Indian officials to get tenders. The government cancelled the deal with the company after the matter escalated. In February 2013, the CBI was entrusted with the responsibility of investigating it. In September last year, CBI filed a chargesheet in the case and then Air Force Chief Sandeep Tyagi was also made an accused.
