Former IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi tweeted on Monday evening a picture of what is supposedly an Interpol notice that says he isn't it is databases, and isn't subject to a Red Notice or diffusion.
The notice that is dated 24 March 2017, adds that it's aware that, in the past, Modi was the subject of data recorded in its databases, but the data was cancelled.
In November last year, a special PMLA court had allowed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to send a Letter of Request (LR) to the British government for execution of a non-bailable warrant against the former IPL commissioner and his transfer to India. This warrant would enable that he faces a probe in a money laundering case.
In the emotional message that Modi also shared on Instagram, he claimed that Interpol had rejected India’s request of issuing him a red notice. He thanked his family, friends and everyone who supported him.
ED has been probing a case against Lalit Modi in connection with a 2008 deal between World Sports Group (WSG) and Multi Screen Media (MSM) for television rights worth Rs 425 crore for the IPL.
