Scotland Yard investigates Choksi kidnapping; Skerrit says Dominica’s hands are clean

Choksi leaving court

The allegation that fugitive Mehul Choksi was abducted, tortured and illegally brought to Dominica is now being investigated by the Metropolitan Police Force in England, otherwise known as Scotland Yard, according to reports.

The Met, as the law enforcement organization is also called, has been responding to a complaint brought by a British Barrister named Michael Polak on June 7, 2021, according to Antigua News Room.

The news website quoted a Scotland Yard spokesman stating that, “The referral is being assessed by officers, in accordance with the CPS/SO15 referral guidelines for war crimes and crimes against humanity.”

The representative also said, “The CPS is the Crown Prosecution Service, which prosecutes criminal cases that have been investigated by the police and other investigative organizations in England and Wales. SO15 is the name for the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, within which the War Crimes Unit sits.”

The website further pointed to information disclosed by a “close source” to the investigation that detectives working the case had recently held a conference with Polak, who has also furnished evidence against four UK- based individuals allegedly involved in the matter.

Meanwhile, Polak, who is also Justice Abroad’s Director, in representing Mehul Choksi, has asked the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) to intervene in his alleged kidnapping case.

He has requested a meeting with Secretary-General of CARICOM, Irwin Larocque on the issue.

A letter from Polak said that the secretary-general has been respectfully requested to speak out on this issue while noting that a failure to do so may reflect badly upon the CARICOM region as “somewhere where the rule of law and due process applies.

Moreover, Choksi’s Antigua-based lawyer Justin Simon told media that Scotland Yard investigators have been focusing on the fact that the alleged abductors are England residents, which has mounted suspicion. He said that there will be international implications if Dominica or Antigua turns out to be involved in the alleged plot.

Choksi’s mysterious appearance here in late May became a hot topic after it was learnt that the fugitive, who is wanted in India for allegedly defrauding the Punjab National Bank of US$2 billion dollars, was captured by police on the Toucari coast for illegal entry. Simon told the Sun that he considers the circumstances surrounding his client’s arrival here as very “strange.” He questioned how and with whom Choksi came to Dominica; and why no one else was arrested for illegal entry.

Torture falls under crimes against humanity laws under the United Kingdom’s Universal Jurisdiction’s Act. This section of the law, allows Britain to prosecute matters that did not occur in that country.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has denied allegations that the government of Dominica colluded with Antigua and India in a plot to have the fugitive abducted and forcibly brought to Dominica.

Skerrit labelled the claim as “absurd” and “total nonsense”, while noting that he has deliberately refrained from making in-depth public pronouncements on the matter as it is still before the courts.

“To say that the government… of Dominica colluded… give me a break. That’s total nonsense.  We don’t get ourselves involved in those kinds of activities [or] those kinds of practices, not at all. That is absurd. We reject this and it is unfortunate that anybody would want to propagate this unsubstantiated claim by a gentleman who is before the court… This is not true at all,” Skerrit said on his weekly Anou Parle program on Sunday evening.

The prime minister cautioned against double standards and urged citizens to consider Choksi’s matter objectively. In expounding his point, he questioned whether it would be fair for a local who commits murder in Dominica and flees to another country, is allowed to roam free or instead be apprehended and sent back to Dominica to face his charges.

“So we have to be very careful what we say and what we ask the government to do and be careful that we don’t ask questions when it suits us but when something else similar happens then we have something different to say,” he noted, while indicating that the matter is before the courts and his government will respect whatever decision is taken.

There have been criticisms about Dominica’s handling of the fugitive, with some saying that he should have been sent back to either Antigua or India sooner, so that these countries can resolve their extradition issues on their own. Some have said that the Choksi saga should not be Dominica’s concern.  The prime minister said that he disagrees with this stance and that “we should never be only preoccupied with our security.”

“This is a matter for all of us to concern ourselves but we have to be responsible for what we say,” he added.

“…We have an international obligation to apprehend this person and let this person go through the process,” he said.

    If Mr Polak feels so righteous about freedom and justice then surely he should start by remonstrating with his own UK government about the crimes against humanity they are committing against Julian Assange who they have been holding in the dire conditions of a maximum security prison on totally trumped up charges even though the original charges have been dropped! Let him clean his own backyard first and leave Caricom to follow its own due process.

    Mr. Man Dog, it not that I simply wish that that damn corrupted crook that th..f Roosevelt Skerrit is involved; I know he is deeply involved up to his short cockroach neck eh!
    Hahahahahahahahahahah!
    Roosevelt neck, and a cockroach neck is the same length; now if you think that Lennox nose is flat and can accommodate a 747, that is good; his nose is not useless, but Roosevelt back and his cockroach neck is curve with the words corruption written all over his yellow and pink back!

    Lennox nose might be a gift, in that it makes it easy to sniff out illegal cash wherever the high up thieves in Dominica have thieving goods hiding, and that includes house, villas, land and money in brown paper bags too.
    I boy know where the crooks; the thieves have all the peoples money they thief hiding eh; and when I boy tell Lennox where to look, his nose will lead him to the lute; and lock the thief up!

      Lenny is going to welcome them with open arms since this will be best opportunity to present the evidence to them on the allegation that the two killers sent after him during the election campaign may be connected to the Choksi abduction. I can assure you Scotland Yard is NOT the CDPF and its puppet commissioners. I truely hope they get to meet Lenny however I have been reliably informed that it is ALLEGED that machinations have begun to deny Scotland Yard entry into Dca if they should ever try to come and they will not be sworn in as Special Constables.

    All i want to know is why Corbette was there to receive the man when it is coast guard duty and why did he introduce himself to Mr. Choksi when picked him up? did all other illegal entries receive the same courtesy? why was Mr. Choksi’s name not on the manufest? and why did the police say the “found” him on a local beach destroying documents, when it is clear and evident that the man had been beaten and tortured? people like Lin CLown say he wounds were self inflicted. I believe their stupidity is self inflicted as well.All i want to know is how Corbette knew where to go and pick him up and why were there police in the vicinity?? All i want to know is why was he hidden in the cell in Roseau and not allowed to see or speak to any legal representative for some time?? all i want to know is why was the plane from India here so quickly after the news of his presence here? All i want to know is where are the other passengers in the boat and the captain? We can start with these basic…

    We are not a colony. Why do we need Scotland Yard getting involved. Hello, we are a sovereign republic 🇩🇲. Times have changed! We got this. Choksi is an Antiguan citizen. Send him back there and let them clean up the mess.

      This has nothing to do with interference but with rule of law. Go research the reason why Scotland Yard is involved and come back. Its easy to spot the Skerrit apologists, they are ill informed and lack logic.

        July 7, 2021

        Compatriot Stein , what in what @Dominica writes lead you to believe that they are ”an ill informed, logic lacking , Skerrit apologists”?

        I believe they are totally correct . We are a sovereign country , and no police force from any country can come here without invitation .
        And Doctor Doctor Doctor Skerrit will not invite them.

        Are you able to say where you ever heard of them using this law?
        Maybe you should research some more.

        Its fake news that sadly some are illogically believing .

        I’m not so sure “.We got this“….!,but the gentleman should After a lengthy stay in our hospital
        be sent back to Antigua (his passport is yet to be revoked),where they can follow the rule of law and extradite him.

        We can then concentrate on unsuccessfully finding out how he got to our sovereign shores .

        Have a blessed day friend .

    “He has requested a meeting with Secretary-General of CARICOM, Irwin Larocque on the issue.”
    Did I read a meeting with Secretary-General Irvin Larocque; that Dominica Sleepy eyes Irwin; if he is secretary-general, when was he appointed to that position; and if so what happen to the Woman from Belize who is supposed to be serving in that position.

    Maybe I am confused about something; if I am somebody help me: Admin please tell me if am sort of confused!
    And so I must let the British seeking help from Larocque  know, that Larocque, is a Dominican, and any position in CARICOM, comes along with the recommendation and at the will of Roosevelt Skerrit.

    Therefore his help will revolve around what Roosevelt tells him to do.

    To the British I say there is no justice in a corrupted Dominica, the players are all under the influence of Roosevelt Skerrit; I would only hope that Scotland Yard finds Roosevelt involvement in this crime; expose it and lock him up!

    Please send the criminal back to India. Chowksi and his nephew, Nirav Modi, has looted many commoners’ pension money via the fraud. India is not going to let these goons go away. UK has turned out to be a haven for fugitives from India, and has lost its relevance in global politics anyway.

      Feller you are on the wrong website. please visit antiguanewsonline. Dominica will be sending Mr. Choksi back to his rightful place as far we are concerned and that is Antigua. Let Antigua determine whether he goes back to India or not. We do not know what he stole, that is only allegations, and a matter for your court system to determine whether he is guilty in India or not. As far as we care, this is not our concern.

    All of you Useless Wicked Parasites that are pointing fingers and asking questions, just wait your answers will soon be answered. Don’t be surprised when Scotland Yard reveal it’s findings. Remember the Algeezera case? Remember who was pointing fingers and making accusations and in the end the culprit signature was SCHOCKING?! Not too long an English Lawyer came accusing THREE government involved in that “Chalkstick” matter. He made mention of Dominica as one. He also made other allegations of which the Leader of the opposition, who loves money than fowl loves corn, took and went on his merry way accusing Skerrit and the government of the lies that Lawyer manufactured. Today that Lawyer’s reputation may be in trouble because of those lies. Just wait. How long? not long. You, Useless Wicked People will find ALL the answers you seek and will know whose hands are clean or dirty. MALAPROP Ibo and Johnathan St.Jean, hope you will be able to stomach the unexpected. Good luck!

      That was addressed by Mr. Linton himself, as well as the attorney in question, IN A PUBLIC FORUM. Unlike your PM who keep lying about the matter. Regarding the Aljazeera, myself and many other domincans saw that 90% of the allegations of corruption, fraud and money laundering was about your PM and his cabal, inclusive of the CBI program and the man from Portsmouth in charge of it. All of these people have become overnight millonaires with not much to show for it. Aljazeera IS following a paper trail with much more to come. Im not concered about the last 10 mins as there is no merit in that. im concenred about the blatant theft i see everyday. appointments of people who are not suitable for positions.

      @Kid On The Block, your peace of mind seems to hinge on one thing which is that someone makes errors and then you can point and say everything about the matter is false. Just like the Republicans in the USA you want to discredit the whole saga as if Choksi isn’t or wasn’t in Dominica having disappeared from Antigua. Well, Kid, there are so many unanswered questions about this matter that a false claim by a British lawyer doesn’t make the facts irrelevant. Why was Choksi met by the police chief with a letter from the minister of national security? Why was Choksi denied his rights to legal representation? Why wasn’t the boat which brought him to Dominca apprehended for illegal entry? Why was he brought to the Cabrits terminal if it’s said he entered illegally? Why did a plane from India come to Dominca for him so soon after his arrival here? Why were Skerritt and Blackmore in Portsmouth on the day he arrived here?. Why does Gaston want him sent to India? So many more questions?

      @Kid On The Block, the questions I want answered on the Choksi matter have nothing to do with Scotland Yard. They have to Do with Caricom, Dominca, Antigua. You are acknowledging that there are some untruths along the way pertaining with overseas people, and believe that Skerritt is innocent based on the British lawyer, despite him being head of government who Gaston Browne called on to send Choksi to India, yet you don’t believe that the claim of Lennox Linton being given money is false. On what evidence and premise do you make your conclusion? You are hung up on Scotland Yard in this saga but I’m not. The questions I have pertain to the involvement of Dominican authorities, our sovereignty, Caricom’s passport and it’s reaction, Antiguan citizen and passport holder, the speed with which a jet arrived in Dominca to extradite Choksi. I’m sure that there will be fake news on all sides. Let those who can speak up with the facts do so and answer my questions.

    Please …..Scotland Yard have nothing to do with this .

    This is propaganda peddled by the ambulance chasing lawyer .
    This is not being reported in the UK papers…. The only reference I could find is some weeks ago a interview with said lawyer. The paper CHECKED with Scotland Yard……they stated they had received a request . :-P
    How many requests do you think they receive about real war crimes and torture
    It appears the lawyers aim is to muddy the waters as much as possible.

    The man has more lawyers than some heads of state , you would think he would hire some private investigators to gather evidence of the kidnapping, as it is not in any of the police forces interest to do so.
    Our hands are probably not clean :(

    I have written to the Queen inviting her to come back and rule Dominica .
    I can confirm that Buckingham Palace has received a request :)

        compatriots refrain from name calling if possible , as it tends to defeat any points made.
        Sorry sir , I don’t realise, nor is it obvious…..nor is it Reality.
        No British police force , or no police force anywhere has jurisdiction to operate in another country Unless invited .
        Please can you tell me when a British force has gone to any country pursuing anyone for war crimes and torture.
        I sure there are plenty of real cases in China, Russia ,Afghanistan to name but a few, which they don’t go and investigate.
        They have only tried (unsuccessfully) to obtain warrants when the person is on British soil.

      That could not have happened unless Dr. Punjab, that damn corrupted Dominica Crapaud (crap) Mentality Ignorant Roosevelt Skerrit is involved.

    July 2, 2021

    Skerrit the point is you cannot break the law to enforce the law. After saying all this my question to you was why was there a jet sent straight from india ready to pick up choksi after two days? Was the court process to fight extradition that quick? If it is then why is the young man from grandbay still in prison? Is it because he does not have money? His extradition case is in Dominica and it is a legal matter for the courts. Let it go through the process without interference. If he escapes to another country then dynamics change. Choksi claimed he was kidnapped and circumstancial appearance seems there is some credibility in that. You are nothing but a pathological liar so nothing you say can be taken with any level of seriousness

    July 2, 2021

    With all due respect, connecting the Grandbay case and Choksi’s case is a smoke screen. A very common ploy to blind observers to the actual and true machinations of each case. In the Grandbay case, the individual is of Dominican descent, and is here in Dominica of his own free will. Choksi is not a Dominican, and his appearance on our shores are extremely suspicious. If he came on a boat, why wasn’t the boat’s captain and crew detained also? Every other law-minded country detains everyone involved in such cases. Why was Choksi the only one detained? If he was back-dooring, shouldn’t the boat’s crew be detained for human trafficking? Where are they now? With all the back-door activity “bossman” has claimed is part of our culture, how come the police just happen to be on that particular beach at that particular time? “Bossman’s” claims here is nothing but obfuscation and an attempt at mis-direction. He even invokes someone else’s name just to pass the heat off 0f himself…

    Who are the leaders that had agreed with Dominica’s passport driven government to send military forces to teargas a sleeping village for hours on end until day break. International intervenors QUIET. CARICOM QUIET. CARICOM spoke so lavishly like subservient post-colonial subjects of the Queen concerning the death of her blatantly RACIST husband. Negro, teargas sick idéologies and reasonings, not people. Now, the corrupt Choksi rat who’s left his rat pebbles across the Caribbean for others like him to clean up, can’t. The RAT STENCH LINGERS WAY BEYOND GRAND BAY and CARICOM’s CORRIDORS that only the storms can flush out. Using the plight of the people of Dominica and acts of nature defences as an excuse to mask INTERNATIONAL CORRUPTION is so old. What % of Dominicans were hired to work on foreign projects. Like the FBI still waiting for Prince Andrew to respond to Epstein connection-SILENCE! Let the howling winds of change roar!

  23. July 1, 2021

    Prime Minister Sir, there is a big difference between Mehul Choski and Kennison Charles. The latter is a Dominican citizen and the USA wants him to face the charges of crimes he committed in their region. The decision is left to the court of Law in Dominica–for him or against him.

    But who is Mehul Choski and why are we all mixed up in his crime-committing escapade?

    If you think that it is “all nonsense” to claim that Dominica has anything to do with this man and his unlawful conduct, why don’t you just send to back to Antigua from where he came and where he is a citizen, let Antigua deal with his disgusting troubles.

    “We should never be only preoccupied with our security.” –News article

      Elizabeth it’s time for people like you to wake up, and discover Roosevelt for what he is.
      We know Roosevelt is a liar, and not a very good one at that; he turns out to be a crook as in the word criminal!
      I welcome the British Scotland Yard intervention the truth is inevitable! 
      We will know if Roosevelt hands are clean as he asserts!

      Well well well… if Elizabeth can finally see the light the days of the cabal are truely numbered. Wow! Kuddos to you Liz my darling. 8)

        @Bwa-Banday, I will correct your ignorance by letting you know that I am a person of Light, there is no darkness nor blindness in me.

        I do not always agree with PM Skerrit, like you all, his enemies are always against him for no reason at all, and from time to time I will point out his flaws, as I see it–this was one of the times.

        In my mind, I just do not understand why that man with his disgusting troubles are in Dominica, and making a mockery of us to the World, and PM Skerrit cannot see that. What does he mean by kidnap and not being in Dominica illegally? Who kidnaped him or who brought him to our homeland by invitation? It is hard for me to accept his points and I had to speak my mind. That does not mean I will ever turn against him.

        So stop with your foolish sarcasm, and don’t hold your breath because I will never side up with you and yours.

    Skerritt is mixing apples with oranges when he brings up the supposed equivalence between Choksi and the young man from Grand Bay wanted by the USVI authorities. I’m sure that Dominca has extradition treaty with the US of which the USVI is part of. In the other hand Dominca doesn’t have an extradition treaty with India. Therefore let Choksi be tried for illegal entry into Dominica and then return him to Antigua from which he holds a Caricom passport. Let the Indian authorities make their case with Antigua for extradition. The matter with the Grand Bay man is cut and dry between Dominca and USVI, whilst the Choksi matter is complicated with a third, his passport holding country, Antigua, involved. Also Dominca doesn’t generate negative international attention with the matter of the Grand Bay man, whilst it’s international news involving kidnapping, mystery, human rights, illegal entry, writ of habeas corpus, Scotland Yard, alleged citizens of the UK and Antigua. You messed up.

    69 (B)Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a servant girl came to him, saying, “You also were with Jesus of Galilee.”

    70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are saying.”

    71 And when he had gone out to the gateway, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, “This fellow also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”

    72 But again he denied with an oath, “I do not know the Man!”

    73 And a little later those who stood by came up and said to Peter, “Surely you also are one of them, for your (C)speech betrays you.”

    74 Then (D)he began to [a]curse and [b]swear, saying, “I do not know the Man!”

    Immediately a rooster crowed. 75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus who had said to him, (E)“Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” So he went out and wept bitterly. Matthew 26:69-75

    Imagine a holy man like Peter lied and even cursed when he saw trouble coming his way.

    Is it possible for the hands of Dominica to be clean but not so with the hands of Mr. Skerrit? Since I am a Perfect Idiot, I only want those that are more educated than I, especially attorneys at law to educate me on this one. Thanks

    Ok people, my name is WHAT IF which means I only ask questions. I don’t make allegations ok. So here is my question: What if PM Skerrit was trying to tell us that Dominica’s hand’s are clean but the hands of PM Skerrit are not clean in that matter?

  29. Braindamage

    Choksi landed in Dominica through the back door…
    Not a malete he brought with him. Nothing at all.

    The PM said Dominica’s hands are clean.
    But now Skerrit hands are tied.
    ……. there will be international implications if Dominica or Antigua turn out to be involved in the alleged plot….

    Mr. Scotland Yard must also check Skerrit’s back pocket for the missing passport monies too.

    Strangely in a battle that has been going on in Dominica for over a month, for the first time Skerrit finds it fit to say somrthing about the battle, only after
    It is now official that Scotland yards are involved in the unvestigation.. Boy all I will say is Simon Peter swore that he did not know Christ but when the cock crow three times his tune changed. I wonder what he said when the cock crow the first time and the second time?

    How does Secretary-General of CARICOM get that position? Recommended by governments: So how do you expect Irwin Larocque to meet with you when Skeritt was his recommender?

    The CPS is the Crown Prosecution Service is involved so, ” “absurd” and “total nonsense,” de mumu de mumu talking not that CPS is investigating.

    “Universal jurisdiction” enables the national courts of a state to try a person for a crime committed outside that state, even where there is no link between the suspect, the victim or the place of crime.”

    “The UK has universal jurisdiction under the Geneva Conventions Act 1957 (and other legislation) for a limited number of serious international crimes.”

    But Skerrit like to lie so and mix apples and oranges? The man is such a con that he seem to believe his own lies. Dominica has not been a rule of law country under Skerrit and all this talk about the government accepting the court’s decision is nonsense. Skerrit we are intelligent enough to Know that Mr. Choksi did not make the trip from Antigua to Dominica rowing a boat by himself, yet he was the only one arrested. We know that the illegal entry is a minor offence, so why is your Lawyer Lennox Lawrence assisting the DPP in such a simple matter? Why is mr. Choksi still on remand for such a minor offence when murderers and rapist are on bail? We are not stupid Skerrit, you are only fooling yourself and Molly…😁😁😁

    Hmmm..I would question the validity of your source “Antigua News Room” that Scotland Yard has any interest in this case apart from amusement .
    25/06/21 https://antiguanewsroom.com/scotland-yard-commences-investigation-into-the-alleged-abduction-of-mehul-choksi/
    This British lawyer is akin to an ambulance chaser, and is quoting this to any news outlet that will give him the time of day.
    Another news outlet CNN News18 (not to be confused with CNN)
    Says on 25/06/21 that the British lawyer is currently under investigation for false claims .
    https://www.facebook.com/cnnnews18/videos/184657273604843
    Im unsure if this is any more credible than Antigua News Room.
    Gaston Brown clearly states NO, when asked in Parliament if Scotland yard are investing .

    As always, your first defense is always attack LL… I suspect your wood getting hard everytime you blame LL for something.

    Why would he leave Antigua where he was safe and enjoyed citizen rights, to come DA and end up in jail? That is the part that not adding up in all you story.

    How them Police end up right Toucari the exact time Choksi reach?

    Usual rubbish from Skerrit. You can duck for now but you cannot hide forever. Choksi may just be the straw that will break the camel’s bacck. Kennison was not kidnapped, he is accused of MURDER. It is very clear that Choksi did not come here on his own and Gason has already let the cat out of the bag many times with his foot in mouth attitude. Its just a matter of time so just continue to keep quiet. You know how everytime you talk is more lies so keep it quiet for now and remember you are not just talking to you blind supporters. There are educated people out there who can think critically.

    The work of evil men like you, Skerrit the liar, will soon come to an end. You are an embarrassment to Dominica, particularly the younger ones.

    Skerrit wants to tell Linton, when to speak, and how to speak. The same Skerrit that was MOO MOO for more than a month… Was he hibernating??? Skerrit Linton’s palms are pellucidly clean, re this Choksi matter!!!!
    Happy that Scotland Yard is involved, and their job will be quite easy..Their concentration will be on Antigua, Dominica and India…Hope that they smoke the masterminders of this inhumane act (of alleged abducting) out of their lying holes, and if found guilty they are all jailed….
    No liar can lie for ever! Even Dominicas king liar knows that!!!

    what i think really happen is that because Dominicans are referred to as Dumb-in-A-Can the Prime Minister did not expect his citizens to make sense of what happen.
    I am certain that was an arrangement between Antigua and Dominica to expedite Choksi return to India as he is also a citizen of Antigua by the CBI program.
    The man was supposed to be treated as anyone who came in back door like Guadeloupe did.
    He was supposed to be charged. He has money. His relatives who pay the fine and
    He would be deported to Antigua.
    Somebody, anybody where is the captain of the boat? If police was at toucari Beach. The police knew when Choksi was arriving. Choksi was not found wondering on the main road neither wS he asking people for help. The police was waiting for the man.
