Fugitive diamond merchant Nirav Modi was produced for a regular remand hearing at a Court in London today and further remanded in custody until February 27. Nirav is fighting extradition to India on charges in PNB fraud and money laundering case. The 48-year-old, who has been lodged at Wandsworth Prison in south-west London, appeared via videolink from prison before District Judge David Robinson.
Nirav Modi’s extradition trial is scheduled for five days starting May 11, with the case management hearings in the case set to begin once all the evidence has been handed into the court for the trial.
The UK’s Crown Prosecution Service which represents the Indian government said, there is no further prospect of an appeal for bail in a higher court as the UK High Court had already turned down Nirav’s plea earlier last year.
