UK court orders Nirav to appear on January 30
Fugitive diamond merchant Nirav Modi, fighting extradition to India on charges over the nearly $2 billion Punjab National Bank fraud and money laundering case, was further remanded in custody at a hearing on Thursday and asked to appear on January 30.
Modi appeared for his regular 28-day “call-over” appearance from London’s Wandsworth prison at Westminster Magistrates’ Court. His extradition trial is scheduled for May 11 and is expected to last over five days.
Deputy Chief Magistrate Tan Ikram, who was the judge on Thursday, asked if there were any other issues to be discussed now. Modi, wearing black, light grey and white sweat shirt and grey bottom, said no.
