A Dublin businessman settled his action alleging libel against Independent Newspapers Limited arising out of an article published in the Sunday Independent three years ago.
An agreed apology read to the High Court yesterday stated the article of February 25th, 1996 said Mr Juerg von Geitz, of Westminster Hall, Westminster Road, Dublin and formerly of Taney Rise, Dundrum, Dublin made several visits to Mr Elio Malocco in prison. The statement added that the article was false and was published at a time when Mr Malocco was serving a jail sentence for offences of dishonesty.
