Indian man, 52, accused of laundering £28m in Jersey

If Mr Bhojwani is convicted, he could face up to 14 years in prison

An Indian man charged with laundering millions of pounds in Jersey bank is on trial at Jersey's Magistrate's Court.

Raj Arjandas Bhojwani is accused of laundering £28m through the Jersey branch of the Bank of India.

The 52-year-old is said to have earned the money from a business deal with a late Nigerian military dictator.

Mr Bhojwani, who denies the charge, was arrested three years ago trying to board a flight to the US and charged under Jersey's proceeds of crime law.

After being charged, he was released on bail, paying a record amount of $65m (£42m).

Mr Bhojwani's daughter and an Indian advocate have called for the Indian government to intervene to ensure he is given a fair trail in Jersey.

If convicted, he could face up to 14 years in prison.

The trial continues.
