The two convicted criminals now both sell themselves to damage the reputations of individuals, governments and companies.\u00a0 Their latest line of scams is attacking Citizenship by Investment Programmes in Caribbean countries.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Friesner emerged as a scandal mongerer against the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) government in the final two weeks of last month\u2019s election campaign, posting demonstrably fake news.\u00a0 Rijock has been engaged in scandalising the Dominica and St Kitts-Nevis Governments, and recently added the Antigua and Barbuda government to his list.<\/p>\n

Since April 12, both men have been particularly active in manufacturing fake news about the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, its Citizenship by Investment Programne (CIP) and its passports.<\/p>\n

Both career swindlers and criminals have posted several blogs containing completely false information and spinning fabricated stories.<\/p>\n

The Government of Antigua and Barbuda advises the public, locally, regionally and internationally of its repudiation of the false claims made by Friesner and Rijock.<\/p>\n
