Overview

Nirav Modi, the billionaire jeweller at the heart of a more than $2 billion fraud case in India, has fled to the UK, where he is claiming political asylum.

EDP-Energias de Portugal sees merits in the plans of suitor China Three Gorges (CTG), it said on Saturday, signalling it may be open to an improved offer after rejecting a 9 billion euro ($10.6 billion) takeover proposal as too low.

A study by Deloitte of two funds at Abraaj found it dipped into investor funds due to cash shortages but there is no evidence of embezzlement at the private equity firm.
