INTERPOL DENIES ED PLEA AGAINST LALIT MODI

- Rajesh.ahuja@hindustant­imes.com

NEW DELHI: The Enforcemen­t Directorat­e (ED) has received a setback in securing an arrest warrant issued by the Interpol against former IPL commission­er Lalit Modi in connection with a money laundering probe.

In a surprise move, Interpol, the internatio­nal police organisati­on that issues arrest warrants, called Red Corner Notices (RCN) against any internatio­nal fugitive on the request of a member country, has decided not to issue one against Modi.

ED is surprised that non-availabili­ty of a charge sheet has been cited as a reason for not notifying the RCN against Modi, a ground hat rarely has a precedent in Interpol operations when it comes to issuing RCNs.
