December 21, 2007 - The Supreme Court of Uruguay unanimously rejected the execution in Uruguayan territory of a sentence of the Court of the Cayman Islands promoted by the liquidators of SEGOES Services Ltd. (Kenneth Krys and Christopher Stride), based on a supposed maneuver of fraud that was alleged but never proven. The Uruguay Supreme Court in a unanimous ruling said that the judgment rendered in the Cayman Islands did not have the guarantees of due process, did not allow the defendant a defense, and did not respect the legality principles of Uruguay. The defendant was not even allowed an appeal in the Cayman Court.
The Supreme Court of Uruguay stated that the minimum norms of international public rights were not fulfilled or honored in the Cayman Islands!
Criminal lawsuits in Uruguay have been filed against Bernard Porras, of Hughes and Hughes and Juan Fischer of LVM Attorneys. (Hughes and Hughes represented the SEGOES liquidator’s in Uruguay on behalf of Ken Krys and Chris Stride).
During and before the Liquidators (Kenneth Krys and Chistopher Stride) losing attempt occurred to effect the judgment of the Cayman Islands in Uruguay, they and their legal representatives engaged in illegal and unethical actions contrary to the laws of Uruguay.
Bernard Porras, of Hughes and Hughes representing the SEGOES Liquidators is now being prosecuted and investigated criminally after illegally attempting to blackmail and extort Juan Fischer– an attorney that represented Laxberg in Uruguay. Dr. Juan Fischer was blackmailed to alter and coerced to give all of his confidential documentation and the privileged information of his clients to the SEGOES Liquidators, under the threat of which - if he did not comply, he would be prosecuted criminally for participating in a presumed fraud committed by Segoes Services Ltd.
Dr. Fischer confirmed this fact and recently commenced legal actions against the Liquidators and Dr. Porras. Moreover, a criminal action against Dr. Porras was also recently filed in the Penal Court of 6° turn of Montevideo, with supporting documentation showing proof of the altered documents, extortion and blackmail. Dr. Fischer is accusing the liquidators, Ken Krys and Chris Stride and their attorney, Dr. Porras of participating in this scheme.
In addition, Dr. Fischer is being prosecuted and investigated criminally for the possible alteration of several emails and for gross violation of attorney client confidentiality and privilege that was in place between Fischer and his clients. These emails were used by the liquidators in the Cayman Court, even though Fischer, Porras, and the liquidators signed an agreement that these documents would be kept confidential and not enter into any legal proceedings.
Because of the travesty’s noted above all the judgments obtained in the Cayman Islands clearly contain false and unsubstantiated information provided by the SEGOES Liquidators, Ken Krys and Chris Stride.
After the SEGOES Services Ltd. liquidators and their legal counsel failed in their attempt to validate the Cayman judgments in Uruguay a criminal investigation of fraudulent and possibly malicious acts was commenced, which further explains the rationale why the Supreme Court of Justice of Uruguay in its sentence of the 2nd of October of 2007, rejected unanimously the execution in Uruguayan territory.
Presently, the judge in the criminal lawsuit in addition to the public prosecutor representing the government of Uruguay, ordered the continued investigation of the alleged criminal actions of Ken Krys and Chris Stride in Uruguay. This is in addition to the actions already filed against the liquidator’s lawyers, Bernard Porras of Hughes and Hughes and Juan Fischer.
Ken Krys and Chris Stride are also being sued in Uruguay personally in Civil lawsuits while the possibility of criminal actions remains under investigation. The civil actions have been filed and are seeking US $10 million to compensate for actual and moral damages that were suffered by the individuals denounced by Ken Krys and Chris Stride before Uruguayan justice.
