Vijay Mallya says ‘my property worth over ₹13,000 crore attached, how far will it go?’ 

Vijay Mallya

Fugitive liquor baron Vijay Mallya, on Friday, claimed his group’s properties worth over ₹13,000 crore have been attached, more than the “claimed” ₹9,000 crores that he “ran away with” asking where justice is and how far will it go.

Mallya was declared a “fugitive economic offender” recently.

In a series of tweets, Mallya, who is set to appeal against a UK court’s extradition verdict, also claimed that the banks to which he owes money “have given an open license to their lawyers in England to pursue multiple frivolous litigations against” him and questioned the “brazen” spending of “public money on legal fees”.

Every morning I wake up to yet another attachment by the DRT recovery officer. Value already crossed 13,000 crores. Banks claim dues including all interest of 9,000 crores which is subject to review. How far will this go and well beyond ? Justified ??

And despite all the attachments in India, Banks have given an open licence to their Lawyers in England to pursue multiple frivolous litigations against me. Who is accountable for spending Public money on Legal fees in such a brazen manner ?

And finally, the Banks Lawyers in England have objected in writing to my paying my legitimate tax dues to HMRC which I requested. Irony is Indian State Banks want my money in England to settle an Indian debt already secured and deny payment to the U.K. tax exchequer. Disgraceful.
