Son's plea for detained UK businessman 'caught in prisoner-swap with Princess Latifa'

The son of a British businessman detained in a notorious Indian prison has told Sky News he hopes that Boris Johnson will act to save his father.

Christian Michel, 59, has been held in custody without trial since 2018 on charges of allegedly bribing officials over a major helicopter deal that became one of India's biggest defence scandals.

His lawyers allege he was extradited from the UAE to India in a de-facto prisoner swap with Princess Latifa, the daughter of Dubai's ruler.
