A Delhi courtroom on Saturday, July 5, declared UK-based arms advisor Sanjay Bhandari a fugitive financial offender beneath the Fugitive Financial Offenders Act, 2018. The Enforcement Directorate filed a plea accusing him of cash laundering and mentioned that Sanjay Bhandari “absconded” to the UK in 2016.
This comes after India’s plea looking for his extradition was lately turned down by a UK courtroom. The investing company filed a prison case of cash laundering towards the UK-based arms seller and others in February 2017.
Taking cognisance of an Revenue Tax division cost sheet filed towards him beneath the anti-black cash legislation of 2015, the ED filed a cost sheet towards him in 2020.
