'Boardwalk Pub' owner announces lawsuit against Rob Ford for false
allegations of corruption
TORONTO, Sept. 16 /CNW/ - On Thursday, September 16, 2010 at 11:00 a.m., George Foulidis will hold a press conference at the Boardwalk Pub, 1681 Lakeshore Blvd. E, to detail his claim against City Councillor and Mayoral Candidate Rob Ford who has falsely stated publicly that the behaviour of Mr. Foulidis and his company Tuggs Inc. is "corrupt". "I will not sit idly by while a very public figure makes false allegations against me and accuses me of being a criminal," said Foulidis. "I am a hard-working businessman and a member of my community. Mr. Ford's false allegations have damaged my reputation and my business and I am going to fight back."
Mr. Foulidis intends to commence a lawsuit against Mr. Ford for his "false and defamatory statements" in the media that have served to vilify Mr. Foulidis in his community and embarrass his wife and children. "I have to do everything I can to stop this political opportunism and restore the faith of my community in my business and demonstrate my integrity and that is what I am going to do," said Foulidis.
Mr. Ford is invited to attend the press conference if he will bring with him his evidence of corruption.
