(MENAFN- Live Mint) A Delhi court on Saturday, July 5, declared UK-based arms consultant Sanjay Bhandari a fugitive economic offender under the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act, 2018. The Enforcement Directorate filed a plea accusing him of money laundering and said that Sanjay Bhandari "absconded" to the UK in 2016.

This comes after India's plea seeking his extradition was recently turned down by a UK court. The investing agency filed a criminal case of money laundering against the UK-based arms dealer and others in February 2017.

Taking cognisance of an Income Tax department charge sheet filed against him under the anti-black money law of 2015, the ED filed a charge sheet against him in 2020.
