RAFI KHAN FILES $210 MILLION LAWSUIT AGAINST
NEW YORK TIMES CHARGING LIBEL
Los Angeles, CA. . .January 25, 1994. . .Rafi Khan, through his attorneys,
BURTON, SCOTT & ASSOCIATES, located in Melville, NY, announced today that a $210
million lawsuit has been filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,
County of Nassau, against The New York Times Company, Inc., Susan Antilla and
Sally Hoffmeister charging repeated libel.
The lawsuit charges that 'The malicious and willful baseless misstatements
by the defendants . . . . . . . were issued at a critical time by them to
irreparably hurt Rafi Khan in his ICN proxy contest and to damage his business
reputation and income.'
Commenting on the lawsuit, Rafi Khan stated that 'I have never, ever even
faced any charge made by any regulatory authority in any part of the world at
any time in my life, in sharp contrast to the people who are orchestrating and
perpetrating a vicious smear campaign against me to totally damage my business,
reputation and well being. I am left with no recourse but to take legal action.'
The lawsuit further charges that 'All defendants have intentionally and
maliciously interfered with the contractual relations between the plaintiff
(Khan) and his institutional clientele.'
