Investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas has described the recent US court ruling in his defamation case against Kennedy Agyapong as a victory for truth and justice—not for monetary gain.
In a press release dated 11 May 2025, Anas said the key triumph was the jury’s confirmation that the Assin Central MP maliciously defamed his character, even though a judge later slashed the US$18 million damages awarded by the jury to US$500.
“Following the award, Kennedy Agyapong filed a motion for remittitur… Thus, inherent in his motion, Kennedy Agyapong admitted to having maliciously defamed me,” Anas stated.
He added that while the judge upheld the jury’s finding of defamation, the monetary compensation was reduced because it was deemed excessive.
Anas noted that the case was never about money. “It is important to state, as I previously did, that this fight has not been about the money, but rather, [a] fight for truth and justice.”
He also expressed satisfaction that none of Agyapong’s allegations against him were proven in court despite being given full opportunity to do so.
The Tiger Eye PI boss vowed to continue his campaign against corruption, stating: “I will continue in my relentless fight… and in doing that, continue to name, shame, and jail.”
