New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday arrested businessman Gautam Khaitan in money laundering probe in VVIP choppers deal case.
Yesterday, two premises of Gautam Khaitan in Delhi were being searched by the ED who seized jewellery worth Rs 1 crore and impounded some financial documents.
Gautam Khaitan, former board member of Aeromatrix, one of the companies named in the VVIP helicopter bribery scandal, was earlier quizzed by the CBI in this case.
The ED had registered a case in this deal in July under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), taking cognisance of a more-than-a-year-old CBI FIR.
During quizzing, Khaitan denied having any links with Gerosa and Haschkhe and claimed that he was a board member of the company being their lawyer but resigned after controversy about the helicopter deal surfaced, the sources claimed.
