SDNY COURTHOUSE, August 4 – Haiti and its developement agency are being sued for non-payment of $27 million worth of delivered oil, with the Central Bank of Haiti on August 4 moving to intervene.
The August 4 emergency motion filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York seeks to bar Citibank from responding to plaintiff Preble-Rish Haiti S.A.'s subpoena and interrogatories. Inner City Press found the filing in the SDNY, which it covers daily while banned by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres from the UN where it asked and asks about the UN bringing cholera to Haiti.
Preble-Rish Haiti is represented by the Blank Rome law firm; the Banque de la Republique d'Haiti has hired two other New York-based firms for its motion to intervene and to quash.
The case is Preble-Rish Haiti, S.A. v. Republic of Haiti, et al., 21-cv-4960 (Castel)
