COURT IN SAINT KITTS RULES THAT IT WILL NOT STRIKE THE DEFENSES OF PHILIPPE MARTINEZ AND MSR MEDIA IN DEFAMATION CASE FILED BY FORMER PM TIMOTHY HARRIS IN MASSIVE CBI FRAUD, MONEY LAUNDERING AND CORRUPTION SCANDAL

                                                         

A Court in Saint Kitts & Nevis has denied a procedural motion, filed by counsel to former SKN Prime Minister TIMOTHY HARRIS to strike the defenses filed by MSR MEDIA and its CEO, PHILIPPE MARTINEZ, in the pending Defamation case filed by Harris. This means that the case will, unless Harris successfully appeals the decision, proceed to trial. The strike-out application, filed by Harris' attorneys, was denied by Master YURI SAUNDERS.

MSR MEDIA and Mr. Martinez have alleged that Harris, when he was Prime Minister, facilitated rampant fraud, money laundering and corruption with Chinese-owned CARIBBEAN GALAXY GROUP, in the SKN Citizenship by Investment (CBI) passport sales program. The case centers around Harris' claims that statements admittedly made by MSR Media and Martinez, which Dr. Harris contends are false and malicious and damaging to his reputation and public image. Mr. Martinez has responded that his statements are true and accurate.
