MILAN – There is no international corruption, remains standing on charges of false invoices. The court in Busto Arsizio, the first trial in respect of the manager of Finmeccanica and its subsidiary AgustaWestland ended with an outcome that has partially recanted the Prosecutor’s investigations. The former CEO of Finmeccanica, Giuseppe Orsi and the former CEO of Agusta Westland Joseph Spagnolini were sentenced to 2 years (suspended sentence) by a court in Busto Arsizio. But unlike what he had chieso the prosecutor, the court upheld only part of the prosecution’s case. The result is that the two leaders were convicted on charges of false invoicing but were acquitted from corruption internationally. The ruling concerns the process of an alleged bribe paid to public officials to make Indian obtain a contract to Agusta Westland 556 million euro for 12 AW101 helicopters in the Asian country.

The Indian government had blocked all the contracts and the delivery of the helicopters after initiation. Now, the Italian company, drop charges of bribery, could ask New Delhi to reconsider its decision. Also because India has so far obtained to enforce guarantees for approximately 225 million and was held the first three helicopters, which are worth about 37 million euro each).
