ED says UK High Court once again has refused bail to fugitive Nirav Modi

Kolkata, May 16 (UNI) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday informed that the UK High Court has once again refused bail to Nirav Modi, the alleged mastermind of USD 1 billion fraud against Punjab National Bank (PNB), hearing his 4th bail application on Thursday ( May 15 ).
"After thorough deliberation of arguments of defence (Nirav Modi) with counter arguments of prosecution (Govt. of India), written submissions made by ED (highlighting the money laundering aspects by using shell companies to launder the proceeds to even outside jurisdictions including UK) and keeping in view the sheer quantum of fraud (part of which has already been attached/seized by ED and restituted to the victim banks), the UK High Court rejecting the application, denied bail to Nirav Modi," the ED said in a statement today.
Nirav Modi was arrested by Scotland Yard Police on March 19, 2019, on the basis of an arrest request made to the Government of UK based on Non bailable warrants issued by the Indian court.
