Fugitive Choksi Moves Belgian SC Against Extradition

He seeks legal reprieve in Belgium, halting extradition to India

Fugitive jeweller Mehul Choksi has appealed to Belgium’s Supreme Court against a lower court’s order approving his extradition to India.

Arrested in Antwerp in April, Choksi claims he faces threats of kidnapping, torture, and political persecution if returned.

The appeal automatically suspends the extradition process until the verdict.
