New Delhi: CBI will send a team to Italy only after perusing a report to be submitted by the Defence Ministry team, which is on a visit there, in connection with the ongoing trial in the Rs 3,600-crore chopper scam and questioning of alleged middleman Guido Haschke.  


Sources in the agency said they were not in a hurry to send a team without getting to know how much Haschke had shared with the Defence Ministry officials who had been authorised by a court in Milan to quiz the accused.  

The visiting team would be submitting a report to the Ministry which will be eventually shared with CBI which has registered a case naming several companies and people, including former Air Chief S P Tyagi.

Tyagi has denied all wrong doings as alleged by CBI.

There have been references to initials of politicians and designations of bureaucrats in the draft budget allegedly prepared by the middlemen that earmarked 30 million Euros to swing the deal allegedly in favour of AgustaWestland.
