International law enforcement agency Interpol has issued a red corner notice against Punjab National Bank fraud-accused Nirav Modi’s wife in connection with money-laundering cases against her in India.
Red Notices are issued for fugitives wanted either for prosecution or to serve a sentence. A Red Notice is a request to law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition, surrender, or similar legal action.
Notably, similar arrest warrants have also been issued earlier against Modi’s other family members such as his brother Nehal and sister Purvi.
Modi was arrested in London last year and is currently fighting extradition to India in the case against him. The trial was adjourned till September after a week of hearings at the Westminster Magistrate’s Court in Central London in May.
The fugitive diamantaire appeared from Wandsworth Prison in South London at the court via video conferencing, due to the social distancing rules in place across the UK due to COVID-19.
The hearing in the case will resume on September 7 with June 11 set as the date for him to be produced in court for his 28-day remand hearing.
