What is the AgustaWestland case involving British citizen Christian Michel?

The AgustaWestland case involves British citizen Christian Michel, who was extradited from the UAE in 2018 and detained in India for over six years without trial. Michel is accused of acting as a middleman in a bribery scheme to secure a 2010 helicopter deal for the Anglo-Italian firm AgustaWestland with the Indian government. The case alleges that technical specifications were manipulated to favor AgustaWestland, with bribes paid through shell companies. Michel has consistently denied the charges, claiming innocence and accusing Indian authorities of pressuring him to implicate senior politicians. The Supreme Court granted him bail in 2023, citing trial delays. The case has political and diplomatic implications, including allegations of a UAE-India quid pro quo. Michel's legal battle continues despite diplomatic interventions.
