WASHINGTON, Sept. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- At an international telephonic press conference today, Lanny J. Davis, attorney for U.S. financial expert Peter Schiff, announced that the Federal Court of Australia, in a detailed 48 page decision dated September 23 (NSD 1086 of 2021), found that Australia's Nine Network, producer of "60 Minutes/Australia," reporter Nicholas McKenzie, and producers Charlotte Grieve and Joel Tozer had published and conveyed seven imputations which are defamatory about financial expert and banker Peter Schiff and his Puerto-Rico-based Euro Pacific Bank in its October 18, 2020 TV broadcast.

Key Points: 
  • Specifically, the judge found that these defendants defamed Schiff and his bank in seven specific defamatory imputations, such as "permitting his bank, Euro Pacific, to be used as a vehicle for around one hundred Australian customers to commit tax evasion," and that Schiff, himself, "committed tax fraud."
  • The fact is, Davis said during his telephonic press conference today, those imputations are false.
  • No criminal charge was ever brought against Schiff or anyone connected to the bank.
  • Schiff's answer: "The 60 Minutes hit piece created the unfair cloud over me that led to the bank being shut down."
