That doesn't really cover why when first arrested in the UK he was given bail. Actually doesn't make it clear where he was when charges were raised. "14 members of the OCG were sentenced to a combined 140-years and nine-months in prison on October 17, 2022. Patel was outside UK jurisdiction when his offending took place, but charges were authorised against him on June 2, 2022. Later that month, Patel was arrested in Thailand for possessing a fraudulent passport. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) applied to have him extradited to the UK to face justice." https://www.tarianrocu.org.uk/news/organised-crime-fugitive-sentenced/ The initial report I read, can't find it now, mentioned being charged and the next day he fled to Thailand. I assumed from the UK.
