Portugal to extradite Monica
By Our Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI,
JULY 16.
The High Court of Lisbon has granted extradition of Monica Bedi, friend of the underworld don Abu Salem. The Central Bureau of Investigation received intimation today that the Court had granted extradition of Ms. Bedi on July 14, while complying with the directions of the Supreme Court of Portugal.
The High Court also ordered the continued detention of Ms. Bedi when her term of imprisonment of two years in the case instituted by the Judicial Police of Portugal expires on September 18, this year. Ms. Bedi was arrested for travelling on forged documents.
The earlier High Court order which granted the extradition was challenged by Ms. Bedi in the Supreme Court which sent it back to the High Court with the direction that it give reasons for its order as to why she should be extradited to India.
CBI officials today expressed the hope that Ms. Bedi could be extradited sometime in October.
The officials pointed out that the order of continued detention meant that even after the end of her two-year prison term, Ms. Bedi would be kept in preventive detention in the extradition case.
The officials were all praise for the "remarkable cooperation'' of the Portuguese Government .
