Associates Times states that the token money was handed over immediately after the meeting. Following the same, the UWP leader became active straightaway by releasing misleading information alleging the Dominica and Antigua government for the plot without any piece of evidence.

Chetan reached Dominica on May 29 by private jet to assist Mehul Choksi against extradition to India, where he is wanted for economic fraud worth the US $2 billion. Despite knowing the fact that Mehul Choksi robbed taxpayer’s money from India, Lennox Linton is standing in support of international fugitive.

The question here is why Mr Linton is helping an international criminal?

It is well known by everyone that Mehul Choksi and his nephew Nirav Modi fled India after executing a $2 billion scam with Punjab National Bank. They are quite wealthy individuals to manipulate politicians, police and other authorities through bundles of money.

Allegedly, during the past week, Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, Gaston Browne, said that opposition is spreading lies to favour Mehul Choksi as they have taken the hefty amount of money from them. Similarly, Lennox Linton is now among the people who are on the payroll of Mehul Choksi to become his voice and spread fake propaganda to get him free.

Lennox Linton, who faced a crushing defeat in Dominica’s general election, is not new to the controversies. Internationally recognised media organisation Al-Jazeera exposed him signing a contract to provide a diplomatic passport (If he wins the general elections) in exchange for election funding.

He also allegedly took money from England based businessman Terry Baron during elections, for which he was also exposed by WIC news. Nevertheless, his association with the Polisario front, which provided him with $500,000 election funding during the elections of 2019.
