Besides, the two interviews were not conducted at the Al Porto Restaurant in Jolly Harbour as Mr Rijock claims, but at Mr Choksi\u2019s office, upstairs in the same building of the Restaurant in the presence of his attorney.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Rijock went further to claim Magistrate <em>\u2018conspired\u2019<\/em> with Inspector Henry to interfere with INTERPOL\u2019s efforts to detain Mr Choksi for extradition to India.
