PNB scam: Indian govt submits more proof against fugitive Nirav Modi in money laundering case

Firstpost  

The Indian government on Wednesday submitted further documents as “corroboratory evidence” in its case of fraud and money laundering against fugitive diamond merchant Nirav Modi, who is contesting his extradition to India at an ongoing hearing in Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London London: The Indian government on Wednesday submitted further documents as “corroboratory evidence” in its case of fraud and money laundering against fugitive diamond merchant Nirav Modi, who is contesting his extradition to India at an ongoing hearing in Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London. The Crown Prosecution Service, arguing in court on behalf of the Indian authorities, said while it was not necessary for the judge to see the new evidence, the documents “help clarify matters” and “back up what is already said” on the charge against Modi of defrauding Punjab National Bank by deceitfully obtaining letters of undertaking, or bank guarantees, and then laundering the proceeds through a complex set of worldwide transactions using dummy companies. “Our case seems to have become a stress test for the government of India and for them to provide random pieces of evidence,” said Modi’s barrister Clare Montgomery. Fritsch, who had served on the Advisory Board of Nirav Modi’s company for three years since 2015, vouched for Modi’s “integrity” and skills as a great entrepreneur and a creative person, who was passionate about establishing the first international brand of luxury jewellery out of India.
