Details of the Secret Settlement Will Remain Private

Benkim Tinky, the defense lawyer for the son of the Bahraini king who had accused Michael of breaching the contract, said that the details of the settlement reached between the parties in this case would remain secret. Tinky said that Michael Jackson and Sheikh Abd... bin Hamad Al Khalifa had reached an agreement in this matter, and that an agreement between the two would be signed soon. In a joint statement from the legal advisers of the parties, it was said that: “Sheikh Abd... and Michael Jackson, with great satisfaction, announce that they have resolved their financial differences amicably and wish each other success in their personal activities.” In the evening of the previous day, after Michael learned that a settlement had been reached in this case, he canceled his flight to London to attend today’s court session. Neither Michael nor the Bahraini sheikh was present at today’s court session. Source: eMJey / AP
