Dr Denzil Douglas Categorically Denies Claims Filed by MSR Media SKN Ltd

BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, JUNE 3, 2024 – It has come to my attention that over the past few
days there has been in very wide circulation a document purported to be a civil claim filed by MSR
Media SKN Ltd, MSR Hotels & CO. Ltd., MSR Media International LLC and Philippe Martinez in
the United States District Court, Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division against myself, and other
parties.

There’s also a Claim for Judicial Review filed in the High Court of St Kitts and Nevis against the
Prime Minister of St Kitts and Nevis in his capacity as Minister of National Security in the Federal
Government of St Kitts and Nevis.

The Civil Claim filed against me makes very serious allegations in my personal capacity as well as in
my capacity as Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Federal Government of St. Kitts and Nevis. I
categorically deny the allegations that have been levelled against me, all of which are ridiculously
false accusations made by the Plaintiffs in the Claim.

The document is riddled with hearsay. These
allegations are baseless, malicious, and are deliberate attacks intending to destroy my reputation, character, and legacy.

Over the last thirty-five years I have dedicated my life to public service and have always upheld the
highest standards of integrity and transparency in my work. There is nothing in the allegations which
warrants any further response or immediate attention.

I am proud of the record of achievements of the Government that I led from 1995-2015 and the work
we did to transform the Citizenship by Investment Programme into one of inclusion. The Programme,
modernized by the Government I led is single handedly responsible for the socioeconomic fortunes of our beautiful country over the last two decades. This is an unchallengeable fact.

Should it become necessary I have every confidence that given the opportunity to put the plaintiffs to
proof on these sinister allegations in a Court of law they will prove to be untrue and my name will be
vindicated.

I am grateful for the hundreds of calls and messages of well wishes and concerns over these past few
days from citizens home and abroad. I assure you that justice will prevail, and the mischief makers
along with their accomplices on the ground here in St. Kitts and Nevis will not triumph in their long-
held obsession to distort the history of this country and the legacy I have built.
