Paving the way to extradite Indian fugitive Mehul Choksi, the Antwerp Court of Appeal has found that the offences attributed to fugitive diamond traders are extraditable under both Indian and Belgian law. 

The consideration accepted by the Belgian court has made the way clear for Choksi’s return to India. The fugitive Indian diamond trader, after being extradited from Belgium, will face trial in the Punjab National Bank (PNB) fraud case.
