印度提出,如果逃犯兄弟在12月17日之前支付5.7亿美元,印度将撤销对他们的指控。 India offers to drop charges against fugitive brothers if they pay $570 million by Dec. 17.

印度最高法院同意撤销对在逃的亿万富翁Nitin和Chetan Sandesara兄弟的刑事指控,如果他们在12月17日前支付5.7亿美元——大约是16亿美元欺诈索赔的三分之一。 India’s Supreme Court has agreed to drop criminal charges against fugitive billionaire brothers Nitin and Chetan Sandesara if they pay $570 million—about one-third of a $1.6-billion fraud claim—by December 17. 2017年,兄弟们使用阿尔巴尼亚护照逃离印度,否认错失行为,他们属于根据允许冻结资产的2018年法律被定为在逃经济罪犯的14人之列。 The brothers, who fled India in 2017 using Albanian passports and deny wrongdoing, are among 14 individuals designated as fugitive economic offenders under a 2018 law allowing asset freezes. 他们的律师说他们愿意结束所有法律诉讼。 Their lawyer said they are willing to settle to end all legal proceedings. 该案涉及据称银行贷款违约,可能为通过金融结算而不是起诉解决类似的高知名度欺诈案件开创先例,有可能限制放款人收回全部损失的能力。 The case, involving alleged bank loan defaults, could set a precedent for resolving similar high-profile fraud cases through financial settlements rather than prosecution, potentially limiting lenders’ ability to recover full losses.
