In its counterpart, Dassault Reliance Aerospace said that anti-bribery convention and French national laws were followed in the Indian contract, and the acquisition of 36 Rafales is based on the government to government basis.
A judicial investigation is started on June 14. Allegations of corruption, favoritism, tax evasion, and money laundering will be investigated.
