New Delhi: The CBI is trying to make aircraft manufacturer Airbus a party to the money laundering case against business tycoon Vijay Mallya over a Rs 900 crore loan from IDBI bank, sources said on Tuesday.
CNN-IBN has learnt that a letter rogatory (LR) will be sent to France in 15-20 days to get details of Airbus's deals with Mallya's Kingfisher Airlines.
The agency would probe whether the bank sent money directly to Airbus as part of KFA's deal with the aircraft maufacturer, and whether some of this was diverted to Mallya's intermediary's to be siphoned off to tax havens.
KFA had reportedly placed orders and made pre-delivery payments for Airbus' wide-body commercial jets like A380 and A350, but they were withdrawn later.
