London Court

London court earlier ruled Mallya should be extradited to India

Earlier, in December 2018, the London Westminster Magistrates' Court ordered the extradition of Vijay Mallya to India.

At that time, Chief Magistrate Judge Emma Arbuthnot found prima facie a case against Vijay Mallya for fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering.

About

Vijay Mallya has been living in London since 2016

Vijay Mallya left India in 2016 and has been in London on a self-imposed exile. He has been on bail since his arrest on an extradition warrant in April 2017.

Mallya had contested his extradition claiming that the case against him is "politically motivated" and that the loans he has been accused of defrauding on were sought to keep his now-defunct airline afloat.
