Delhi's Patiala House Court on Saturday dismissed the bail plea of Christian Michel, an alleged middleman in the AugustaWestland VVIP chopper scam. Opposing the plea, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) said since Michel is close to influential people, he could leave the country on bail, tamper with the evidence, influence the witnesses.

On January 5, Michel was sent to judicial custody in the ED case. He is also lodged in judicial custody in the CBI case related to the scam.
