British newspaper The Telegraph tracked down Nirav Modi, the billionaire jeweler who’s suspected in a $2 billion fraud case in India, in London.
He’s been staying in a high-dollar apartment in London’s West End, according to the newspaper.
Last year, The New York Times described Modi as being “on the run” and noted that figuring out his location had become something of a “national pastime” in India.
He’s remained at-large despite Interpol’s issuance of a reed notice for his arrest in July, The Telegraph reports.
The newspaper, which has described Modi as “India’s most wanted man,” posted a video of the jeweler on Twitter, with Modi replying “sorry, no comment” to a reporter’s questions.
The New York Times reports that India is waiting for a reply from Britain regarding an extradition request. The Telegraph later reported that that the UK had agreed to the extradition.

Modi is at the center of a fraud case involving Punjab National Bank, where employees are “suspected to have steered fraudulent loans” to Modi’s businesses, Reuters has reported.
Modi is apparently involved in a new new diamond business in the UK, according to The Telegraph.
