One of the analyses in question was recently reported by MaltaToday, and Steward Health Care International was said to have asked the Maltese government to launch an investigation.
MPT’s lawsuit seeks permanent injunctive relief, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, and compensatory and punitive damages from Viceroy for defamation, civil conspiracy, tortious interference, private nuisance, and unjust enrichment. MPT is accusing Viceroy, which has published a number of reports linking it to Steward and the Malta fiasco, of “repeatedly publishing baseless allegations to drive down the company’s stock price”.
American company Medical Properties Trust has instituted a lawsuit in the US federal courts over claims made by Viceroy Research, short sellers and apparent financial investigators, over what it says are bogus financial analysis reports linking it to Steward’s Malta hospitals debacle.
