A Dubai-based businessman and accused in a money laundering case connected with the Rs 3,600-crore AgustaWestland VVIP chopper deal moved a Delhi court on Monday seeking anticipatory bail.
Rajeev Saxena, a director in two Dubai-based firms UHY Saxena and Matrix Holdings, filed an application through his advocate before special judge Arvind Kumar, saying he was anticipating arrest.
The court sought response from the Enforcement Directorate by December 24, when it will next hear the matter.
The court has already issued non-bailable warrant against Saxena in the case.
Christian Michel, the extradited British national who was the alleged conduit in the Rs 3,600-crore AgustaWestland chopper deal, is in CBI custody.
