Philippe Martinez

Philippe Martínez is a controversial French film producer, director, screenwriter, actor, and former President of the Odéon Theater in Marseille. During his career, he has faced several allegations and charges of fraud and extortion.

After serving a jail term in France for fraudulent activities, he was also charged by the US with exploiting visa guidelines.

In addition, he entered the Caribbean with his proposal to shoot movies on the Nevis island, but he has again gathered attention for his controversy related to extortion of governments of St. Kitts and Nevis and Saint Lucia in regard to their CBI Programmes and filed a RICO case against them in the US.

Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis, Dr Terrance Drew publically stated that Philippe Martinez demanded $40 to $100 million from him to withdraw RICO case. Local media also reported that Martinez also demanded $25 million from Saint Lucian Prime Minister, Philip Joseph Pierre to withdraw the case. Provided by Wikipedia
