Trinidad and Tobago artiste Medz Boss, whose real name is Joseph Oliviere, has taken legal action against former Attorney General Faris Al-Rawi over statements he alleges were defamatory and \u201cmaliciously false\u201d.<\/p>\n
A pre-action protocol letter was served on Al-Rawi on Monday, September 14, 2026.<\/p>\n
The development comes months after Medz Boss was detained under a Preventive Detention Order during the State of Emergency.<\/p>\n
That order contained allegations concerning alleged gang and criminal activity. Those claims were allegations and did not constitute findings of guilt.<\/p>\n
Medz Boss\u2019s Preventive Detention Order was later revoked in August.<\/p>\n
The specific statements attributed to Al-Rawi that prompted the latest legal action have not yet been independently established by TG News.<\/p>\n
A pre-action letter gives a recipient notice of a potential legal claim and an opportunity to respond before possible court proceedings.<\/p>\n
The filing does not mean a lawsuit has been initiated or that the allegations have been proven.<\/p>\n
TG News will provide further details as they become available.<\/p>\n
