Nirav Modi to Face Extradition Trial in UK

Nirav Modi, a prominent diamantaire, has filed a request for a retrial of his extradition case to the United Kingdom. Modi is currently in the UK on suspicion of organized crime and money laundering, stemming from a 2017 investigation in India. He is seeking to reopen the legal proceedings following concerns raised by Indian authorities regarding potential questioning and investigation. The hearing is scheduled for November 23rd, and Modi’s legal team is preparing arguments to challenge the previous decision to return him to India. The case involves allegations of large-scale fraud and illicit financial transactions.
