Handiwork of India's fugitive businessman Mehul Choksi, bribed officials to Antigua to avoid extradition

There has been a big disclosure about Mehul Choksi, one of India's most wanted fugitive businessmen. Antigua's Financial Crimes Officer, Kenneth Rizouk, during his investigation has found out that Mehul has bribed several senior officials of Antigua for his protection. This has been disclosed by Kenneth Rizouk in an article in the news magazine. He has also informed us that preparations are being made to arrest him soon and send him to India.

Has given bribes to many senior officials

Kenneth Rizouk told that Mehul has bribed many big officials to take the court action forward. Even Mehul has bribed Antigua's senior police officer Adonis Henry. Kenneth wrote in his report that several eyewitnesses said that Mehul and the police officer Henry met thrice in a day at El Porto which is a Jolly Harbor restaurant owned by Mehul Choksi.

He wrote in his report that Mehul not only bribed Henry but also tried to give illegal money to Antigua's Magistrate Conliffe Clarke. Rijock has written in his report that the fugitive Mehul wanted to escape from Antigua but could not do so, after which he conspired to kidnap himself. He wanted to run away to Cuba because there is no extradition treaty between India and Cuba. It has also been revealed during the investigation that it was dumped on the coast of Domenica in May 2021 because it refused to pay money to the ship's crew.

The court had already heard the verdict

Although a court in Antigua ordered Choksi to be extradited to his native country i.e. India, Mehul stuck to the decision for a long time through bribery. India's fugitive businessman had completely distanced himself from Indian courts and law after obtaining a business passport from Antigua. But despite this, an Interpol Red Notice has been issued for his arrest.

Let us tell you, before leaving the country in the year 2018, Mehul had scammed the Punjab National Bank in India. A red notice is issued for those who are arrested and extradited. This notice is issued by the Secretariat at the request of a member state or international tribunal based on a valid national arrest warrant. It has been alleged by PNB Bank that two of their employees had issued a Letter of Undertaking (LoUs) without informing the bank.
