The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is soon expected to file a fresh charge sheet in the over Rs 3,600 crore AgustaWestland VVIP choppers deal case, officials said Wednesday.

They said the forthcoming prosecution compliant to be filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) will be the third supplementary one in this case and is expected to underline the role of Dubai-based businessman Rajiv Shamsher Bahadur Saxena.

The agency had in July last year arrested Saxena's wife Shivani Saxena under the anti-money laundering law in this case.

The agency had then alleged that "Rajiv Saxena is the beneficial owner of Ms Interstellar Technologies Ltd, Mauritius and the couple are partners/Directors in Ms UHY Saxena, Dubai and Ms Matrix Holdings Limited, Dubai."
"These companies further siphoned off the said money or the proceeds of crime in the name of consultancy contracts to Ms Interstellar Technologies Ltd, Mauritius and others which were further transferred to Ms UHY Saxena, Dubai, Ms Matrix Holdings Ltd, Dubai and others."
