Soon, India will get details of Mallya's Swiss bank accounts

The Indian government may soon get details of money which embattled businessman Vijay Mallya kept in multiple Swiss bank accounts, reports HT. After the apex court of Switzerland approved India's request, officials in both countries have initiated the process. Notably, Mallya brought the topic of corruption charges shadowing CBI to make his case but the Swiss court rejected his appeals. Here's what happened.

Verdict
Court accepted CBI's plea, allowed details to be shared

The CBI sought details of his bank accounts and the Public Prosecutor of the Canton of Geneva agreed to the federal agency's request. Along with bank accounts of Mallya, the court also approved sharing details of five companies linked to him to provide wider legal assistance to India. Mallya challenged this decision in the apex court but to no avail.

Appeal
Mallya spoke about Rakesh Asthana's corruption charges

The Federal Supreme Court in Lausanne gave three judgment on November 26 and November 29, upholding the lower court's order. Mallya had told the top court that Rakesh Asthana, who was Special Director of CBI at the time and was investigating his case, was himself embroiled in corruption charges. He argued there were serious flaws in the "proceedings in India".

Judgment
After hearing Mallya's arguments, court passed order

Moreover, Mallya also invoked Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) which protects the rights of a free trial. However, the judges noted the plea of violation of ECHR protection wasn't applicable in this case. The court noted Mallya's extradition case was pending and added state of residence (the UK in this case) has to consider the regularity of criminal proceedings.

Quote
Here's what the court said

"Switzerland is bound by respect for the ECHR and the UN Covenant II and liable to engage its own responsibility, there is no reason to doubt that this question will, if necessary, be examined in accordance with the requirements of treaty law," the court said.

Accounts
A look at Mallya's bank accounts

Reportedly, Mallya has four bank accounts in Swiss banks. In Swiss bank Edmond de Rothschild (Switzerland) SA, he has one account and in Compagnie Bancaire Helvétique (CBH) there are three accounts. In CBH, the accounts are in names of Drayton Resources, Black Forest Holdings, and Harrison Finance. According to a publication of Swiss court cases, "Mallya deliberately concealed his fortune to escape his creditors".

Extradition
Last year, Mallya's extradition was ordered by UK court

In a big win for India, Mallya's extradition was ordered by Westminster Magistrates' Court in London, on 10 December 2018. He will, however, challenge this decision. The United Breweries chairman can either go to the Court of Appeal or the UK's Supreme Court. Mallya, who has been living in the UK since 2016, is accused of bank fraud to the tune of Rs. 9,000 crore.
