India, UK discuss prioritising extradition requests

The issue came up for discussion during the visit of a high-level delegation from the UK to the CBI Headquarters on Monday.

India and the United Kingdom on Monday discussed the need for expediting action under mutual legal assistance treaty and prioritisation of extradition requests relating to fugitives.
A number of fugitives from India including former Kingfisher Airlines promoter Vijay Mallya, diamantaire Nirav Modi and arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari besides separatists from Punjab and wanted terrorist sympathisers are based in the United Kingdom and their extradition is being pursued by agencies.
The issue came up for discussion during the visit of a high-level delegation from the United Kingdom that included its candidate for the post of Interpol Secretary General Stephen Kavanagh to the CBI Headquarters on Monday.
During the visit, the CBI Director Praveen Sood and other senior agency officials held detailed discussions with Kavanagh about enhancing operational collaboration with the UK.
Both sides discussed a host of issues including criminal intelligence sharing and combating financial crimes, organised crime, terrorism, cybercrime, and other transnational threats, a statement from the CBI Spokesperson said.
They look forward to future interactions and collaborative initiatives to deepen cooperation, it said.
The delegation also included Acting High Commissioner of the UK to India Christina Scott, UK National Crime Agency representative Robert Holness and Sorrel Evans from the UK Home Office, a statement from the CBI said.
The officials discussed enhancing intelligence sharing and supporting each other's efforts to combat financial crimes, tackling organised crime, terrorism, cybercrime, and other transnational threats.
"Both sides shared commitment to addressing global crime threats in a coordinated and effective manner including via Interpol channels," the agency said.
The CBI said that the visit marks a significant step towards strengthening international cooperation between the UK and India in combating transnational crime.
"It was reiterated to strengthen bilateral ties and work closely together to address common security challenges effectively including the need for expediting mutual legal assistance and prioritisation of extradition requests relating to fugitives," the agency statement said.
"Stephen Kavanagh while interacting with senior officers of CBI thanked CBI for the valued partnership and cooperative spirit and reiterated their commitment to enhance collaboration.
"Praveen Sood welcomed Stephen Kavanagh and thanked him for his visit," the Spokesperson said.

Nirav Modi accused of fraud and money laundering

Wanted in the Rs 13,500 crore bank fraud case fugitive diamond merchant Nirav Modi has lost appeal against his extradition to India. He is lodged in a UK prison since 2019.&nbsp;

The High Court in London on Wednesday ordered diamond merchant Nirav Modi's extradition to India to face charges of fraud and money laundering, amounting to an estimated USD 2 billion in the Punjab National Bank (PNB) loan scam case.
Lord Justice Jeremy Stuart-Smith and Justice Robert Jay, who presided over the appeal hearing earlier this year, delivered the verdict.
The 51-year-old businessman, who remains behind bars at Wandsworth prison in south-east London, had been granted permission to appeal against District Judge Sam Goozee's Westminster Magistrates' Court ruling in favour of extradition last February.
The leave to appeal in the High Court was granted on two grounds &ndash; under Article 3 of the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) to hear arguments if it would &ldquo;unjust or oppressive&rdquo; to extradite Modi due to his mental state and Section 91 of the Extradition Act 2003, also related to mental ill health.
Modi is the subject of two sets of criminal proceedings, with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) case relating to a large-scale fraud upon PNB through the fraudulent obtaining of letters of undertaking (LoUs) or loan agreements, and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) case relating to the laundering of the proceeds of that fraud.

He also faces two additional charges of "causing the disappearance of evidence" and intimidating witnesses or &ldquo;criminal intimidation to cause death&rdquo;, which were added to the CBI case.&nbsp;

A petition filed by gangster Abu Salem has led to a face-off between the Supreme Court and the Union government. Salem filed a plea to ensure that his jail term does not exceed 25 years.
He was convicted in 2017 in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case. In his recent petition, Salem said that India had promised to Portuguese courts during his extradition that his jail term would not exceed 25 years.
In response, the Government of India said that Salem's petition was premature as the 25-year period would end in November 2030. Salem was extradited from Portugal in 2005.
Responding on behalf of the government, Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla said, "The period of 25 years, which is mentioned in the assurance, will be abided by the Union of India at an appropriate time subject to the remedies which may be available." The government also said that it was not the appropriate time for it to take a call on the issue, and the Supreme Court could take a decision, instead.
Reacting sharply to the government's response, the Supreme Court said, "Don't lecture the judiciary." The 2-judge SC bench said that it does not take it kindly when the court is asked to decide something which the government should decide. The judges said that the Home Secretary is "nobody" to tell the court to decide the issue.
Abu Salem was convicted in 2017 for transporting weapons from Gujarat to Maharashtra ahead of the serial blasts in Mumbai on March 12, 1993. Over 250 were killed, and over 700 were injured in the terror attack.
