| Choksi and Aggarwal |
Reports from London confirm that VIJAY AGGARWAL, known to be the principal Indian attorney for the fugitive $2bn financial fraudster MEHUL CHOKSI, has been arrested in the UK, with a large amount of cash, at his London residence. The lawyer, who was not authorized to work in the UK, has been linked to Choksi's British assets and reputed criminal network there.
Aggarwal, together with the controversial British attorney, MICHAEL POLAK, has been representing Choksi, who recently dismissed a civil suit there, against the alleged kidnappers of Choksi in Antigua, where he had used his Antiguan Citizenship by Investment (CIP) passport to evade extradition to his native India for five years. Choksi is currently in custody in Belgium, awaiting his imminent extradition to India, to face multiple serious criminal charges. A major issue surrounding Aggarwal is whether he is involved in providing financial support to a number of separatist organizations in India that have been designated as terrorist entities, meaning we are talking about allegations of terrorist financing, using Choksi's assets, to create political chaos within India. Is he looking to create a situation where he can make a deal with Indian authorities, in exchange for his cessation of providing financial support to terrorism?
