The UK s home secretary has approved the extradition of diamond tycoon Nirav Modi to India to face allegations of a $1.8 billion bank fraud.
Mr Modi, whose jewels once adorned stars from Bollywood to Hollywood, has been held in London s Wandsworth Prison as he battled extradition to India.
In February, he appeared via video link from prison at Westminster Magistrates Court where a judge sent his case for extradition to Home Secretary Priti Patel for a final decision.
Following her approval, he now has two weeks to appeal the decision in the High Court before he will be removed from the UK and returned to India.
TOWARDS the end of 2019, something unusual happened at a federal cabinet meeting in Islamabad. Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Accountability Shahzad Akbar was allowed to present a ‘non-agenda item’; he had with him a sealed envelope that he said contained a non-disclosure agreement. It pertained to a multi-million pound settlement that the UK-based National Crime Agency (NCA) had recently arrived at with property tycoon Malik Riaz. According to a source present at the meeting, “[Human Rights Minister] Shireen Mazari objected, saying, ‘What approval are we giving when we don’t even know its contents?’ We were told that if it is opened there are implications for national security and the UK government also has reservations”.
