A court in the United Kingdom said that evidence found against wanted diamantaire Nirav Modi is sufficient to establish a prima face case against him and said that he has a 바카라case to answer for in India바카라.
The Westminster Magistrates바카라 Court in London said that Nirav Modi conspired to destroy evidence and intimidate witnesses.
A court in the United Kingdom said that evidence found against wanted diamantaire Nirav Modi is sufficient to establish a prima face case against him and said that he has a 바카라case to answer for in India바카라.
Nirav Modi lost his fight against being extradited to India as a UK judge ruled that he can be sent back to face charges of fraud and money laundering in the estimated USD 2-billion Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam case.
The Westminster Magistrates바카라 Court in London said that Nirav Modi conspired to destroy evidence and intimidate witnesses.
The 49-year-old appeared via video link from Wandsworth Prison in south-west London as District Judge Samuel Goozee handed down his judgment at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London.
바카라I am satisfied on the evidence that a prima facie case of fraud and money laundering is established,바카라 said Judge Goozee, as he read out parts of his judgment in court and concluded that he will send his ruling to the UK's Secretary of State, Priti Patel.
It is the Cabinet minister who is authorised to order an extradition under the India-UK Extradition Treaty and has two months within which to make that decision.
The Home Secretary바카라s order rarely goes against the court바카라s conclusions, as she has to consider only some very narrow bars to extradition which are unlikely to apply in this case, including the possible imposition of a death penalty.
Whatever the ministerial decision, the losing side 바카라 Nirav Modi 바카라 has up to 14 days within which to approach the High Court and seek leave to appeal after the Home Secretary바카라s decision. Any appeal, if granted, will be heard at the Administrative Division of the High Court in London.
Nirav Modi was arrested on an extradition warrant on March 19, 2019, and has appeared via videolink from Wandsworth Prison for a series of court hearings in the extradition case. His multiple attempts at seeking bail have been repeatedly turned down, both at the Magistrates바카라 and High Court level, as he was deemed a flight risk.
Nirav Modi is the subject of two sets of criminal proceedings, with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) case relating to a large-scale fraud upon PNB through the fraudulent obtaining of letters of undertaking (LoUs) or loan agreements, and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) case relating to the laundering of the proceeds of that fraud.
He also faces two additional charges of "causing the disappearance of evidence" and intimidating witnesses or 바카라criminal intimidation to cause death바카라, which were added on to the CBI case.
