Days after securing a bail from Dominica High Court, fugitive diamond businessman Mehul Choksi has landed in Antigua and Barbuda, where he has been staying as an Antiguan citizen since 2018 after fleeing India.
Choksi’s return to Antigua comes after 51 days of custody in neighbouring Dominica for illegal entry, according to Antiguan media reports.
Choksi, 62, was given bail by the Dominica High Court on Monday to travel back to Antigua for seeking medical treatment from a neurologist based there.
On Monday, the Dominican High Court Justice Stephenson granted the special bail and ordered that upon arrival in Antigua, the fugitive businessman will consult Antiguan neurologist, Dr Hayden Osborne, at the Mount St. John’s Medical Centre. He must inform the court of any change of specialist.
After depositing bail amount of EC Dollars 10,000, Choksi flew back to Antigua in a chartered plane, Antiguan media outlet Antigua News Room reported.
