FORMER finance minister Colm Imbert has signalled his intention to take legal action against one media entity over the publication of articles and broadcasts he alleges defamed his character and misused confidential information.
Imbert, through his attorneys Farai Hove Masaisai and Mpule Williams, of the firm Hove and Associates, has accused Trinidad Express Newspapers and its affiliate CCN TV6 of publishing and amplifying false allegations that damaged his reputation. The letter was sent on September 22 to One Caribbean Media Ltd, the parent company of the newspaper and television station.
The letter complained of articles and third-party comments made on the media house’s social media platforms, which, according to the attorneys, allegedly suggested Imbert engaged in fraud, conspiracy, money laundering and misconduct in public office.
