Nirav Modi's Final Appeal Rejected by European Court, UK Moves Toward Extradition
Fugitive businessman Nirav Modi has exhausted all legal options to challenge his extradition from the UK to India after the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) rejected his final appeal. Modi had previously failed to obtain relief in UK courts, which accepted India's assurances on prison conditions. With only administrative procedures remaining, UK authorities have begun the process to transfer Modi, wanted in India for the Punjab National Bank fraud and money laundering cases, to Indian custody.
