New Delhi: After an court in Italy Thursday found him not guilty of corruption in the 2010 deal to supply India with AgustaWestland helicopters, Giuseppe Orsi, the former chief executive of Italian firm Finmeccanica said the judgement upheld the honour of India's ex-air chief, Air Chief Marshal S.P.Tyagi, falsely accused of wrongdoing.
"This judjment is also important because gives Marshal Tyagi back his honour after the accusation of having done something that he really had not done," Orsi said in a statement sent to IANS by his lawyers.
Tyagi was not charged in the Italian case, heard in the court of Busto Arsizio and has denied any wrongdoing in connection with the 560 million euro (Rs.3,600 crore) contract for 12 helicopters for VVIP use.
"The peremptoriness of the acquittal makes the allegations meaningless. No amount of money was paid to an Indian public official, nor did the Swiss intermediary try to alter the tender," said Orsi's advocate, Ennio Amodio.
