New Delhi, Oct. 22 -- A Belgian court of appeal, while allowing Mehul Choksi's extradition last week, ruled that he is neither the subject of a "political trial" nor does he run the risk of torture or denial of justice in India, dismissing the fugitive's argument that he was kidnapped in Antigua and Barbuda at the behest of Indian authorities in May 2021.
The Antwerp court said in its judgment on October 17 that two arrest warrants issued by Indian courts were "enforceable" on the charges pertaining to criminal conspiracy, criminal breach of trust, fraud, embezzlement and criminal misconduct. P11
