As the search for fugitive former diamantaire Mehul Choksi continues, Antigua & Barbuda’s Prime Minister Gaston Browne spoke exclusively to Republic TV and noted that his country was determined to have the former extradited and repatriated to India. Speaking exclusively to Republic TV’s Executive Editor Niranjan Narayanaswamy on Tuesday evening, Antigua & Barbuda PM Gaston Browne claimed that he was surprised that Mehul Choksi was absconding and noted that they had no reliable information of the PNB Scam-accused fleeing the country. Mehul Choksi purportedly went “missing” after going out for dinner in Antigua island on May 23 and could not be traced even though his vehicle was traced in the Jolly Harbour later.

Antigua PM Browne speaks to Republic as Mehul Choksi goes
Speaking to Republic TV, Antigua & Barbuda PM Gaston Browne said that a missing person report had been filed after Mehul Choksi did not return home on Sunday and added that they were unable to locate him. The Antigua & Barbuda PM added that the law enforcement agencies had activated the intelligence agencies in order to get information of Choksi’s current whereabouts. PM Gaston Browne said that Antigua was pursuing Mehul Choksi’s litigation and vowed to extradite him if he was found on the island, as per due process of law. He also expressed confidence in Mehul Choksi losing his appeal against extradition and said that he would be repatriated after he had exhausted all his appeals.

“This is very unfortunate. He (Mehul Choksi) has created some reputational damage. Apart from Choksi, the bilateral issue is going good with India on multiple fronts,” Antigua & Barbuda PM Gaston Browne told Republic TV.

Responding on the claims that Mehul Choksi has fled to Cuba, PM Gaston Browne was dismissive, stating that he had information that Choksi hadn’t fled via any airport under his jurisdiction and so would have to have travelled by boat if indeed he had intended to go to Cuba. However, it was too quick a timeframe for him to have reached in such a manner.
