Attorney Astaphan defends Keiron Pinard Byrne comments about Lennox Linton and the failed Layou River Hotel Saga

​Attorney Anthony Astaphan has denied that Chattered Accountant Keiron Pinard Byrne brought Lenox Linton before the court because of any complaint that he had received monies as an auditor for the failed Layou River Hotel project, which was widely expected to have been built under the Economic Citizenship program.
 
He stated that the complaint which was brought to the court, was that Lennox Linton accused Keiron Pinard Byrne, of illegally taking money away from the government of Dominica, and the promoters.
 
Astaphan then posed a question to the Leader of the United Workers Party, Lennox Linton, asking “when you were an employee of DCP, were you a beneficiary of DCP? or were you only entitled to the salary that you earned?”
