According to a website posting by David Marchant, publisher of the Miami-based financial newsletter, Offshore Alert, which first published the allegations against Mitchell, he has only just been made aware that the Commission of Inquiry has resumed.

“Before Hurricane Ivan struck Grenada last year, I was contacted by the authorities in Grenada and asked whether I would provide evidence in Miami. I said that I would be prepared to do so but I have heard nothing since then,” said Marchant.
