Dominica High Court denies Mehul Choksi bail, deems him 'flight risk'

The Dominica High Court has denied fugitive businessman Mehul Choksi bail on account of him being a 'flight risk'.

The Dominica High Court denied fugitive businessman Mehul Choksi bail on June 11. Judge Wynante Adrien-Roberts deemed Choksi a 'flight risk'. In court on Friday, Choksi's lawyers argued that as a CARICOM (Caribbean Community) citizen, he is entitled to bail since his alleged offense is a bailable one with a fine of EC$ 5,000. They asked the court to impose a cash bail.
