JOHNS, Antigua, Sep 7, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Starnet Communications International Inc. (OTCBB: SNMM chart, msgs) ("Starnet"), an online provider of interactive media and information systems and a recognized leader in Internet gaming, confirmed today that it is continuing to pursue an action against Claude Levy and Gambling Magazine in Belgium, where Mr. Levy apparently resides.  "We are making significant progress in our actions against Mr. Levy and Gambling Magazine," said President and Chief Executive Officer Meldon Ellis. "As we announced on July 10, the Commercial Court in Mons, Belgium has entered a default judgment against Mr. Levy, Gambling Magazine and Starnet News, ordering them to cease using the name Starnet or any other name resembling Starnet, and to cease making defamatory accusations against Starnet on the Internet. While we understand that an application could be made to set aside the default judgment and proceed to a hearing on the merits, the Company concluded that it would focus its efforts on the Belgian action in light of the progress achieved to date. As a result, the Company voluntarily discontinued the defamation action in Vancouver, British Columbia. However, we will continue to pursue vigorously legal action against Mr. Levy in the appropriate jurisdictions going forward and trust that they will deal with him appropriately. With respect to the credibility of Mr. Levy's claims and allegations against Starnet, we urge all our stakeholders to review the judgment against Mr. Levy issued by the Honorable Justice Williamson of the Supreme Court of British Columbia on October 15, 1999, which refers to Mr. Levy's claims against Starnet as 'fanciful.'"
