David E. Marchant (born 1965) is a journalist, editor and owner of OffshoreAlert, a news service and conference organizer that specializes in exposing financial crimes before they occur.
Later, the opposition National Democratic Congress held a press conference denouncing the alleged corruption of the government, as reported in ''OffshoreAlert''.
The Grenadian's Government Information Service then issued a warning that media outlets that broadcast or published the content of the press conference could face legal action.
Within a few days, the government had filed a criminal libel lawsuit in Grenada brought by the prime minister against ''OffshoreAlert'' and its publisher, Marchant, a British national.
[7] Marchant boasts that " We’ve never lost a libel action, never published a correction or apology to any plaintiffs and never paid — or been required to pay — them one cent in costs or damages".
