SKN FORMER PRIME MINISTER APPEARS TO PANIC IN HIS RESPONSE TO MSR MEDIA'S RENEWED §782 APPLICATION FOR U.S. DOLLAR TRANSACTIONS

TIMOTHY HARRIS, the former Prime Minister of St. Kitts & Nevis, and who previously filed a Defamation proceeding against Philippe Martinez and MSR Media SKN, has replied to MSR's Renewed Application to Conduct Discovery for Use in Foreign Proceedings, in a US court.

The Response:

(1) Asserts that all the procedural requirements of §782 have not been fully complied with.

(2) Cast doubt on whether a court in St. Kitts will admit any bank records obtained in this manner, in the Defamation proceedings, under Kittitian law.

(3) Requests a protective order barring any evidence so obtained from Public Disclosure, and from being used in any other legal proceeding.

Please note that MSR Media and Mr. Martinez have filed a $150m civil RICO suit in US DIstrict Court in Tampa, seeking Treble Damages.This is obviously the proceeding that Harris seeks to deny access to any and all evidence obtained in this separate proceeding. Additionally, there could be other civil suits brought by parties alleging that they are victims, and of granted, such a protective order would be applicable to their cases as well.

Obviously, Harris greatly fears the publication of U.S. bank records that could prove the illegal transfer of hundreds of millions of dollars to the United States, China, and Dubai could implicate him in a major bribery and kickback scheme, and possibly show illicit payments to other government officials and Politically Exposed Persons in St. Kitts and elsewhere.

We shall continue to monitor this proceeding on a daily basis, and report on all developments as they occur.
