Renowned investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has responded to his recent legal victory in the United States, where the Essex County Superior Court in New Jersey ruled in his favor in a defamation case against former Ghanaian Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong.
The court awarded Anas $18 million in damages, a ruling he describes as a vindication of truth and accountability.
In a statement following the ruling, Anas emphasized the significance of the case, especially considering the difficult legal standard for proving defamation in the United States.
He noted that the jury's unanimous 8-0 verdict underscored Agyapong's reckless and malicious attacks against him following the release of the BBC documentary "Betraying the Game" in 2018.
