Wed Mar 26 04:45:39 UTC 2025: ## Belgian Authorities Monitoring Mehul Choksi Case
**Brussels, March 26, 2025** – The Belgian government is closely following the case of fugitive Indian businessman Mehul Choksi, according to a spokesperson for the Federal Public Service Foreign Affairs. While declining to comment on specifics, citing jurisdiction resting with the Justice Department, the spokesperson confirmed awareness and attention given to the case. This follows statements from Antigua & Barbuda’s Foreign Minister, E.P. Chet Greene, confirming Choksi’s departure from the island for medical treatment abroad but emphasizing his continued citizenship.
Choksi, along with his nephew Nirav Modi, is wanted in India for alleged involvement in the ₹14,000 crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam. Both Greene and the Belgian spokesperson highlighted ongoing cooperation between their respective governments and India, while stressing adherence to legal processes and democratic norms. The Belgian government’s monitoring of the situation suggests continued international interest in the case and its potential ramifications.
