Fugitive diamond merchant Nirav Modi, facing extradition to India, informed a UK court that he might remain in England for an extended period due to ongoing legal proceedings hindering his extradition. During a hearing on fines totaling GBP 150,247 accrued from his failed extradition appeal, the former billionaire, dressed in prison attire, confirmed compliance with monthly payments. Emphasizing the uncertainty, he stated, "It is very likely I will be in England for a long time, could be three months, six months, could be years." The case was adjourned to February 8, 2024, with the outstanding balance at GBP 70,247.
