Mehul Choksi, Fugitive Billionaire, Arrested in Belgium Over PNB Scam | Spotlight | N18G

Описание: Mehul Choksi, Fugitive Billionaire, Arrested in Belgium Over PNB Scam | Spotlight | N18G

India's long pursuit of fugitive diamond businessman Mehul Choksi took a dramatic turn after he was arrested in Belgium on April 12. Choksi is wanted in connection with a $1.56 billion banking fraud involving Punjab National Bank. Once a powerful businessman behind Gitanjali Group, Choksi fled India in 2018 and moved across nations—Antigua, Dominica, and finally Belgium. Reports suggest Choksi used forged documents to gain Belgian residency in 2024, possibly to avoid being sent back to India. With an extradition treaty in place since 2020, Indian authorities are hopeful of bringing him to justice. The development also refocuses attention on other fugitives like Nirav Modi, Vijay Mallya, and Lalit Modi.
