Nirav Modi, the fugitive Indian businessman facing charges of fraud and money laundering in India, has been relocated from HMP Wandsworth to the privately-run HMP Thameside in London. The move, part of a group transfer of 40 inmates following a recent prison escape, took place without prior court knowledge. Nirav Modi's extradition to India was denied in the UK courts last year, but his case may involve further litigation or a confidential political asylum appeals process. He is implicated in multiple criminal proceedings in India related to fraud and money laundering.
