In fresh trouble for fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi, the Antiguan government on Tuesday has decided to revoke the citizenship. Antiguan PM Gaston Browne in a statement said, "His citizenship was processed; he got through but the reality is his citizenship will be revoked and he will be repatriated to India; so there is recourse. It’s not a case that we are trying to provide any safe harbour for criminals, for those who are involved in financial crimes."
