High Stakes in AgustaWestland Case: Bail Conditions Under Scrutiny

The Delhi High Court is set to decide on Christian Michel James' plea to modify bail conditions in the AgustaWestland case. James, an extradited middleman, seeks to relax his bail terms, which require a Rs 5 lakh surety and passport surrender, citing delays in obtaining a new passport.

The Delhi High Court has reserved its decision regarding Christian Michel James' request to amend bail terms in the high-profile AgustaWestland money laundering case.

Michel, who faces allegations of being a middleman, participated virtually from Tihar Jail as his attorney and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) presented their arguments.

The plea aims to ease conditions mandating a Rs 5 lakh surety and passport surrender, conditions the ED argues are necessary to ensure Michel's presence in India.
