Fugitive diamond merchant Mehul Choksi has appealed to Belgium's Supreme Court against his extradition to India in the Rs 13,000 crore PNB fraud case. The Antwerp Court of Appeal previously ruled his extradition as "enforceable," finding no risk of unfair trial or ill-treatment in India. Choksi, who fled to Antigua in 2018 before the scam was detected, allegedly siphoned Rs 6,400 crore personally. His extradition remains suspended during the appeal process.
