FUGITIVE diamond merchant Nirav Modi, wanted in India in connection with the nearly $2 billion Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud and money laundering case, was on Thursday (25) further remanded to judicial custody until August 22.

During a short remand hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court via videolink from Wandsworth prison, the judge extended Modi's remand till August 22.

Modi, 48, has been lodged at Wandsworth prison in south-west London since his arrest in March in connection with the nearly $2bn PNB fraud and money laundering case.

He appeared for the first time since his bail appeal was rejected by the UK High Court earlier last month.

  • MPs want the government to reject a £10bn rescue proposal from Thames Water’s creditors.
  • The company has more than £20bn of debt and serves around 16 million customers.
  • The EFRA Committee says Thames Water is trapped in a “doom loop” and wants stronger powers for earlier government intervention.

The Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (EFRA) Committee has urged the government to reject a £10bn restructuring proposal from London & Valley Water, a consortium of more than 100 Thames Water creditors.

The committee said the proposal did not have “the interests of the public, the company or the environment at heart”, arguing that the consortium’s priority appeared to be extracting immediate value rather than securing Thames Water’s long-term future.
