Darrell Defends Darin
posted (March 2, 2016)
6 days ago, we showed you the American Investors who said that businessman Darin Smith, of Biospharms deceived them into paying 40 thousand US dollars for a piece of land on his subdivision located in Los Tambos, Cayo. They have accused him of promising to give them title for land that they've paid for, but that he has never delivered.

We tried exhaustively to reach Smith and his attorney, Mayor Darrell Bradley but they never responded. But today when we finally got a chance to ask the Mayor about it.

He told us that his client, Darin Smith, vigorously rejects their allegations, and that he will strenuously defend against the civil suit that these Americans have brought against him:

Darrell Bradley - Mayor of Belize City

"We live in a society of laws. The complaints that were raised by those persons is the subject of ongoing litigation, so that their recourse is a civil action in the Supreme Court which they have filled. They have retained council; they have served my client Mr. Smith with the claim documents. We have responded in quite accurate and powerful terms to say what they are saying is false and my client will defend himself vigorously in court against any attempt to disparage his name or to make this out to be anything other than what it is. My client runs a very popular Biospharm community in Belize City, which is in existence for several years. Many of his clients are very satisfied, what those people contracted for, they were given and there is no, in our view breach of contract and there cannot be any claim of any fraud of misrepresentation. They have put their claim in court and we're defending it and that's the proper forum. If they want to go to the media, that's fine but my client has also instructed me that we will commence defamation claims against them and against any party who repeats a liable because what they are saying is false."

We'll tell you how that case plays out in court when actually does happen.
