BASSETERRE, St Kitts — Following a statement last month by the leader of the opposition, former prime minister Dr Denzil Douglas, to the effect that he will revoke the citizenship of any applicant who is found to been illegally granted St Kitts and Nevis citizenship by investment (CBI), a spokesperson for the opposition St Kitts-Nevis Labour Party confirmed to Caribbean News Now on Friday that this was indeed its policy position if and when it is returned to government.
Multiple allegations of systemic fraud in the St Kitts and Nevis CBI programme have surfaced recently, involving forged letters of approval, unauthorised switching from the donation option to the real estate investment option, and illegally financed unsanctioned discounts.
