Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.On 13 December we reported the High Court case brought by the liquidator of Anglo American, the US insurance company, against Mr Melvyn Stein for allegedly assisting, through his firm's client account, Mr Miro, the alleged insurance fraudster. We stated that Mr Jay and Mr Swede, partners in Finers, were directors of Anglo American Trust.
We have been asked to make clear that Mr Jay and Mr Swede had ceased to be directors of Anglo American Trust before the first payment to that company complained of in the writ was made.
We have also been asked to make clear that the writ makes no allegation of personal impropriety against any partner in the firm of Finers other than Mr Stein. The allegations against him are strenuously denied by Mr Stein and Finers and relate solely to the movement of funds through his firm's client account on the specific instructions of Mr Miro. There is no suggestion of personal gain by Mr Stein or his firm.
We are also asked to make clear that in June 1990, months before proceedings were issued, Finers sought directions from the High Court and obtained an order entitling them to freeze assets of Mr Miro under their control.
