Nirav Modi’s diamond empire has reached unimaginable heights,.
He’s got the backing of some of the world’s most powerful people,
and his designs are worn by Hollywood and Bollywood’s biggest
names.

But when a bank manager at a small branch in Mumbai retires, his
replacement notices something that doesn’t add up. Hidden behind
years of paperwork and financial transactions lies the answer to
the question many have asked: where was Nirav getting the
money? Within days, the illusion crumbles. All hell breaks
loose.

As investigators in India and the US close in on what they allege
is a billion-pound fraud, Nirav’s diamond empire collapses.
Stores are shut down, employees lose their jobs and the arrests
begin. But there’s one person nobody can find: Nirav Modi.
The diamond king has vanished. He's now one of the world’s most
wanted men.
