An eccentric Indian politician and businessman who once owned a Perthshire castle has had a 1.6 million Euro property seized by French finance authorities.
Indian economic intelligence agency the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) asked officials in France to take over the property belonging to fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya earlier this month.
International press have reported that ED launched an investigation into potential money laundering following a report from the Indian Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against Kingfisher Airlines Limited, Mallya and others in 2016.
