Vijay Mallya arrested in London in money laundering case, gets bail
NEW DELHI: Absconding liquor baron Vijay Mallya+ , who is wanted in connection to a loan default case to the tune of Rs 9,000 crore, was arrested in London on Tuesday.
The fugitive businessman has been arrested in a second money laundering case filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the UK's Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said. However, he was granted bail shortly after being produced before the Westminster Magistrates' Court for a hearing.
Mallya owes as much as Rs 9,000 crore to Indian banks. He has been out on bail after Scotland Yard arrested him on April 18 this year, acting on India's formal extradition request for him. The 61-year-old chief of the now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines fled India last year in March and has been living in Britain since then.
The CBI and the ED had recently uncovered that 'Mallya diverted most of Rs 6,000-crore loan to shell companies'+ , taken from a consortium of 17 banks led by SBI, to several countries including US, UK, France and Ireland.
Law may b blind .... but it has VERY LONG HANDS
SatyaMeva Jayate
Finally ONE LESS REASON for CONGriwal''s to bash BJPTruth Brahmandam
Both the agencies are now planning to file chargesheets against him and present it as evidence in the Westminster Magistrates' Court, so that his extradition could be expedited.
India had given a formal extradition request for Mallya as per the Extradition Treaty between India and the UK through a note verbale on February 8 and had asserted that it has a "legitimate" case against him.
