New Delhi: A CBI team will visit London by next week to examine Airbus's executive vice-president Kiran Rao in connection with alleged irregularities in the over Rs 8,000 crore deal for supply of 43 aircraft to the erstwhile Indian Airlines in 2005.
Sources said some clarifications were needed from Rao on alleged non-fulfillment of conditions given in the supply contract. Sources said order for the visit of the team headed by a superintendent of police was issued and the team might leave by next week to record evidence.
Sources said after nearly a year-long probe, CBI felt the need to examine senior executives of Airbus about some crucial points which had come up during investigation of the case in which senior officials of the erstwhile Indian Airlines have been named as accused along with Airbus functionaries.
CBI has registered a case against Airbus Industries and seven officials who held senior positions in Indian Airlines which was later merged with Air India.
