A spokesperson for the UK Home Office announced Friday that Home Secretary Priti Patel has approved the extradition of billionaire jeweler Nirav Modi to India, where he will face charges in connection with his alleged involvement in the Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud case.
In a judgment of the Westminster Magistrates’ Court delivered on February 25, District Judge Sam Goozée found that there was sufficient evidence upon which Modi could be convicted in relation to the conspiracy to defraud PNB, among other things.
