The Diamond King has vanished, but the hunt is only just beginning.
As the Indian authorities seize Nirav Modi’s bank accounts, jewellery, cars, art and dozens of properties, the man himself is nowhere to be found.
Rumours swirl that he could be in New York, Hong Kong, Cyprus or Antwerp.
But then Mick Brown and Robert Mendick learn Nirav isn’t in a far-flung corner of the globe.
After Mick writes about the diamantaire’s dramatic fall for the Telegraph Luxury magazine, he receives an intriguing email from a confidential source: the billionaire fugitive is far closer than we thought.
Here’s the inside story of how Mick and Rob achieved what the British police and Indian authorities failed to do: capture the Diamond King.
