The Dubai-based Range Developments, which is involved in developing multi-million dollar projects in at least two Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries, has denied media reports that its founder, Mohammed Asaria, had been jailed in China on suspicion of illegal fundraising.<\/p>

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

In a statement, Range Developments, the developer of Park Hyatt Saint Kitts, the Cabrits Resort in Dominica, as well as the Six Senses Saint Kitts, said it \u201cvigorously\u201d rejects the stories and has provided \u201cprovided photographic evidence to disprove the false claims\u201d.<\/p>\n

It said that it intends to pursue \u201cthe highest possible damages\u201d in court.<\/p>

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

According to Range Developments, Asaria \u201chas kindly provided photographic evidence to prove that he is, in fact, in Geneva, and not in a Chinese jail\u201d attending the Investment Migration Council\u2019s conference.<\/p>

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

\u201cSuggestions that Mr Asaria and\/or Range have been engaged in fraudulent and illegal activities are incorrect and vigorously rejected. It is obvious that the purpose of these articles is solely to damage Mr. Asaria\u2019s and Range\u2019s reputation among investors. The company\u2019s lawyers are insisting on an immediate retraction and the highest possible damages.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asaria said that while he wouldn\u2019t speculate as to \u201cwho is making these ridiculous allegations or what their purpose is,\u201d the focus of Range Developments \u201cis on the completion of the Cabrits Resort Kempinski, Dominica and the commencement of the Six Senses St. Kitts.\u201d<\/p>

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

Range Developments said that the allegations first surfaced on a Caribbean-based website and picked up by other media, including some in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt seems this is one of the challenges of being a successful developer,\u201d said Asaria, adding \u201cI won\u2019t let this distract from our efforts to build world-class projects in the Caribbean\u201d.<\/p>
