比利时最高法院驳回了Mehul Choksi反对引渡回印度的上诉, 维持先前的裁决, Belgium's Supreme Court has rejected Mehul Choksi’s appeal against extradition to India, upholding a prior ruling that clears the final legal hurdle for his return. 法院没有发现可信的证据,Choksi在印度将面临酷刑或不公正待遇,驳回他关于政治迫害和强迫离开安提瓜的主张。 The court found no credible evidence Choksi would face torture or unfair treatment in India, dismissing his claims of political persecution and forced removal from Antigua. 与13 000卢比的旁遮普邦国家银行诈骗——诈骗、伪造和贪污——有关的指控得到比利时法律承认,符合两国共认犯罪标准。 Charges related to the Rs 13,000-crore Punjab National Bank scam—fraud, forgery, and embezzlement—are recognized under Belgian law, meeting the dual criminality standard. 一项与篡改证据有关的指控因比利时没有相应的罪行而排除在外。 One charge related to evidence tampering was excluded due to lack of a corresponding offense in Belgium. 印度就Choksi的人道待遇提供了保证,包括在Arthur Road监狱的私人牢房内安置。 India provided assurances on Choksi’s humane treatment, including placement in a private cell at Arthur Road Jail. 随着上诉被拒绝,正式引渡程序现在可以向前推进。 With the appeal denied, formal extradition proceedings can now move forward.
