CHOKSI TO REMAIN IN A BELGIAN PRISON UNTIL HIS JUNE 13 HEARING, AS HIS LAWYERS ATTEMPT MERITLESS PROCEDURAL TACTICS SEEKING TO EVADE HIS EXTRADITION TO INDIA

MEHUL CHOKSI, the diamond merchant from India who defrauded its banks out of more than the equivalent of two billion dollars, before fleeing to Antigua, where he evaded extradition with a Citizenship by Investment (CIP) passport that never should have been issued had real due diligence been conducted, sits in a prison in Belgium, as Indian authorities seek his removal to face justice at home. He is considered one of the highest priorities of the Indian criminal justice system.

His attorneys have attempted to throw legally defective procedural roadblocks in the way of extradition, none of which resulted in his release on bond' his next hearing is June 13. The case is a textbook example of how the world's most dangerous transnational white collar criminal fugitives game the system, by securing Caribbean CBI passports, and subsequent delaying justice for years through cooperation with corrupt Caribbean leaders and their subservient courts. Choksi bought and bribed his way into a seven year delay in his extradition to India, by paying Antiguan officials at the highest level.

The case is playing out at the same time as a §1782 proceeding, styled GASTON BROWNE ANTIGUA CORRUPTION APPLICATION, alleging that the country's Prime Minister, GASTON BROWNE, stole $10m from a bogus luxury yacht seizure and sale, which has exposed Antigua's government as a corrupt racketeering organization, dedicated to fraud and corruption.
