Interpol shuts door on ED for Red corner notice against Lalit Modi

NEW DELHI: The Interpol has virtually dealt a death blow to India’s chances of getting a Red Corner Notice issued against former IPL Chairman Lalit Modi in a money laundering probe in the T-20 cricket tournament.

The global police body, officials said, has apparently ruled in favour of Modi who had contested the issuance of such a warrant against him by the Interpol, on the request of the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

The ED had first made the request in 2015 to the Interpol.

Modi also tweeted from his official handle a certificate endorsing such a stand by the Interpol which stated that he is not “subject to an Interpol Red Notice or diffusion and is not known in Interpol’s database.”

The cricket administrator, who is said to be in the UK, has maintained that he has not done any wrong in any of the Indian Premier League (IPL) deals.  (AGENCIES)
