Mehul Choksi

Belgium’s highest court has rejected Mehul Choksi’s final bid to block his extradition to India, clearing the way for his surrender to face fraud charges.

The Court of Cassation dismissed the appeal this week, ruling that the Antiguan national had failed to present any valid legal or factual grounds to overturn earlier extradition orders.

Choksi is wanted by Indian authorities over an alleged large-scale bank fraud. He has argued that extradition would breach his rights and endanger his safety, but the court said those claims did not meet the legal threshold to halt the process.

The ruling exhausts Choksi’s legal options in Belgium and brings India a step closer to securing his return after years of litigation in multiple countries.
