Fugitive diamond merchant Mehul Choksi, accused in the ₹13,000 crore PNB scam, has been arrested in Belgium. Choksi, who had fled to Antigua in 2018, was reportedly undergoing medical treatment in Belgium at the time of his arrest. Indian authorities are working to extradite him, but face challenges including Choksi’s claims of poor health and his Belgian residency status. The arrest comes despite the removal of an Interpol red notice against Choksi earlier. Indian agencies are hopeful of extradition, but legal experts warn of challenges in EU courts. The discussion explores the implications of the arrest, potential legal hurdles, and the complexities of extraditing economic offenders from EU countries. The case draws parallels with other high-profile extradition attempts, including those of Vijay Mallya and Nirav Modi.
