Embraer Scam

The CBI, after a seven-year probe, has charged arms dealer Vipin Khanna, who died in 2019, and his son Arvind Khanna with alleged corruption in connection with a $210 million DRDO contract to procure three aircraft from Brazilian aerospace giant Embr

$5.5 million was allegedly paid as commission to a middleman based abroad in the Embraer deal, the CBI has found in what it considers as a major breakthrough in its probe into allegations of kickbacks in the $208-million aircraft contract.

The Defence Ministry has handed over a set of key documents to the CBI, including minutes of the meetings where the decision to purchase of three Embraer aircraft was taken, to help the agency in its probe into allegations that kickbacks were paid in the deal.

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) will seek an explanation from Brazilian aerospace conglomerate Embraer on alleged kickbacks in a deal for aircraft during the UPA regime, the Defence Ministry said today.
