Nirav Modi can be extradited, rules UK court, says has a 'case to answer to India'

Firstpost  

On Thursday, fugitive diamantaire Nirav Modi lost his legal battle against extradition after a UK judge ruled that he must face the Indian courts on charges of fraud and money laundering in the estimated $2 billion Punjab National Bank scam case. The 49-year-old appeared via video link from Wandsworth Prison in south-west London as District Judge Samuel Goozeehanded handed down his verdict at London’s Westminster Magistrates’ Court. During a series of hearings in the course of the extradition case last year and early this year, Westminster Magistrates’ Court has heard detailed arguments from both sides about why Nirav’s “deteriorating” mental health condition does or does not meet the Section 91 threshold of the Extradition Act 2003 which was most recently been used in the UK to block the extradition of Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange on the grounds of it being “unjust and oppressive” as he is a high suicide risk. Nirav’s legal battle marks one of a number of high-profile extradition cases involving accused Indian economic offenders in the UK.
