A UK court will hear the closing arguments in the extradition case of fugitive diamantaire Nirav Modi on January 7 and 8 next year. Reports suggest that District Judge Samuel Goozee will hear the final arguments from both sides before he delivers the final judgement in the case a few weeks later.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Westminster Magistrates Court had extended the remand of Nirav Modi until January 7. He had appeared before the court via videolink for a routine 28-day remand hearing. Modi has been behind bars at Wandsworth Prison in south-west London since his arrest last year following India s extradition request for him.

The revelation led to heightened restrictions in London and southeastern England this week, with UK Home Secretary Priti Patel telling the public in a televised interview that “we have to take strong measures, and we’re doing that.” Some countries have closed their borders in response, while several airlines in the United States – at the suggestion of Gov. Andrew Cuomo – will now require negative tests for U.K. travelers entering New York City via JFK Airport.
