Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gaston Browne has said that fugitive businessman Mehul Choksi, who has been found in Dominica, will be repatriated to India. In an exclusive interview with ANI, Mr Browne said, Dominica has agreed Choksi’s repatriation and Antigua will not accept him back.
He said, he has requested Prime Minister of Dominica Roosevelt Skerrit and law enforcement in Dominica to not return Choksi to Antigua where he has legal and constitutional protection as citizen.
