STANFORD INT'L: Owner Must Stay in Jail Pending Trial, Court Says
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans has again
denied requests by Robert Allen Stanford's lawyers for the
released of their client pending his trial, Anna Driver at Reuters
reports. The report relates that the Appeals court said in a
ruling that Mr. Stanford's lawyers presented "no new
circumstances" in their second effort to win his release.
According to the report, Mr. Stanford's lawyers argued that
because of his declining mental and physical health, friends and
family had offered to hire armed off-duty peace officers to guard
him to ensure that he would appear in court. The report relates
that Mr. Stanford's legal team is mulling an appeal to the US
Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, the report notes, lawyers who represent Stanford in
civil fraud case said they plan to file a motion asking that the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's complaint against the
former billionaire be dismissed.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
December 29, 2009, Bloomberg News said that U.S. District Judge
David Hittner has denied Mr. Stanford's request for bail despite
reviewing psychiatrists reports that he was close to "a complete
nervous breakdown." According to the report, reports from two
psychiatrists who examined Mr. Stanford said that he was suffering
from severe depression triggered by his incarceration under
conditions that rendered him unable to help in his defense.

network with US$51 billion in deposits and assets under management
or advisement. Stanford Private Wealth Management serves more
than 70,000 clients in 140 countries.
On February 16, 2009, the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, signed an order
appointing Ralph Janvey as receiver for all the assets and records
of Stanford International Bank, Ltd., Stanford Group Company,
Stanford Capital Management, LLC, Robert Allen Stanford, James M.
Davis and Laura Pendergest-Holt and of all entities they own or
control. The February 16 order, as amended March 12, 2009,
directs the Receiver to, among other things, take control and
possession of and to operate the Receivership Estate, and to
perform all acts necessary to conserve, hold, manage and preserve

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, on Feb. 17, charged
before the U.S. District Court in Dallas, Texas, Mr. Stanford and
three of his companies for orchestrating a fraudulent, multi-
billion dollar investment scheme centering on an US$8 billion
Certificate of Deposit program.
A criminal case was pursued against him in June before the U.S.
District Court in Houston, Texas. Mr. Stanford pleaded not guilty
to 21 charges of multi-billion dollar fraud, money-laundering and
obstruction of justice. Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer,
as cited by Agence France-Presse News, said in a 57-page
indictment that Mr. Stanford could face up to 250 years in prison
if convicted on all charges. Mr. Stanford surrendered to U.S.
authorities after a warrant was issued for his arrest on the
criminal charges.
The criminal case is U.S. v. Stanford, H-09-342, U.S. District
Court, Southern District of Texas (Houston). The civil case is SEC
v. Stanford International Bank, 3:09-cv-00298-N, U.S. District
Court, Northern District of Texas (Dallas).
STANFORD INT'L: Antigua Government Reacts to Class Action Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------
A senior official of the Antigua and Barbuda government has
described Stanford Victims Coalition's class action lawsuit
against the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank and the government as
"unbelievable," Jamaica Observer reports. The report relates that
the lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. by a group of disgruntled
investors though Morgenstern & Blue, LLC, seeks at least US$100
million in compensation" for ECCB's unlawful seizure last year of
the Bank of Antigua, an asset of Robert Allen Stanford.
According to the report, attorney general Justin Simon said he was
not impressed by the claims. "I am really, really very upset
because it clearly indicates that this kind of action comes from
the uninformed and is itself unbelievable. To accuse the ECCB of
thievery and of stealing the millions to which the Bank of Antigua
is valued is more than preposterous and ludicrous," the report
quoted Mr. Simon as saying. "There has been no stealing, there
has been no thievery, there has been taking over, there has been
no expropriation," he continued, adding that the central bank was
acting under its emergency powers.
Mr. Simon, the report notes, said that after a U.S. court
appointed Stanford Financial group receiver, Ralph Janvey, the
Bank of Antigua experienced a run which triggered the intervention
of the ECCB, which Mr. Simon said was necessary as the run would
have affected all of the members of the Eastern Caribbean Monetary
Union.

CENTRAL EUROPEAN MEDIA: To Acquire bTV Channel for US$400 Million
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. has entered into an
agreement with News Corporation to acquire bTV, the free-to-air
commercial television channel in Bulgaria, as well as the bTV
Cinema and bTV Comedy cable channels and 74% of Radio Company C.J.
OOD which operates several radio stations (the bTV Group). Total
consideration, which is payable in cash, is US$400 million on a
cash-free and debt-free basis. The consideration is subject to
adjustment in the event that actual working capital at completion
differs from an agreed level of target working capital. The
transaction is subject to the approval of the Bulgarian Commission
for the Protection of Competition and other customary closing
conditions and is expected to complete in the second quarter of
2010.
Adrian Sarbu, President and CEO of CME, commented: "The
acquisition of bTV is the next step in repositioning CME after the
sale of our Ukrainian operations. We are now focused on building
a highly profitable vertically integrated media company operating
in the EU and EU accession countries. bTV greatly complements our
portfolio of broadcasting assets. I am confident that we will be
able to bring Bulgarian viewers an enhanced TV offer and deliver
significant value for our shareholders."
In connection with this acquisition, CME will also enter into an
agreement to acquire from Top Tone Holdings Limited its 20%
interest in CME's Pro.BG business in consideration of a 6%
interest in a newly created subsidiary that will hold the bTV
business and Pro.BG businesses and the termination of the existing
agreements in respect of the Pro.BG business. Top Tone Holdings
will also have the right to acquire an additional 4% interest for
a period of up to three years from closing. The closing is
expected to be simultaneous with the completion of the acquisition
of the bTV businesses.
CME was advised by Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch on the
acquisition of the bTV Group.

* COLOMBIA: Venezuela May Buy Electricity From Country, Pres. Says
------------------------------------------------------------------
Venezuela is evaluating a proposal to purchase electricity from
Colombia and is buying power turbines from General Electric Co.
amid nationwide rolling blackouts and a severe drought, Daniel
Cancel and Steven Bodzin at Bloomberg News report, citing
President Hugo Chavez.
According to the report, Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro said that
Colombia sent a proposal and the offer is being reviewed by
Venezuelan Electricity Minister Ali Rodriguez and a team of
technicians. The report notes Mr. Maduro said that Venezuela,
which froze relations with Colombia last year, doesn't want the
issue to become politicized.
Bloomberg News notes that President Chavez is tapping regional
allies including Argentina, Brazil and Cuba to prevent a collapse
of the national power grid as water levels plunge at the country's
biggest hydro reservoir. The report relates that President Chavez
said that Venezuela planned to acquire two GE turbines having a
total of 440 megawatts.
President Chavez, the report notes, declared a national emergency
in the electricity sector on February 8.
Bloomberg News points out that Venezuela depends on hydroelectric
power generation for more than two-thirds of its energy needs and
thermoelectric plants that run on fuel oil, diesel and natural gas
are operating below capacity because of maintenance problems.

AIR JAMAICA: JALPA's Bid for Airline "too late," Minister Says
--------------------------------------------------------------
Jamaica Finance Minister Audley Shaw has dismissed the Jamaica
Airline Pilots Association's bid for Air Jamaica Limited as coming
way too late to usurp that of Caribbean Airlines, RadioJamaica
reports. The report relates that Mr. Shaw has also declared that
the government will not give the pilots preferential treatment as
sections of the society are asking the divestment team to do.
"When you are running a transparent government as is required
under the international system of transparency that we are
committed to we can't have our own procurement policies that have
been laid down into law, not by my government but by previous
governments and the laws on procurement are very clear and they
are reinforced and buttressed by an aggressive and vigilant
Contractor-General," the report quoted Mr. Shaw as saying.
According to the report, Mr. Shaw said that the government is now
focused on completing the Caribbean Airlines deal which he
described as being on the runway. The report points out that Mr.
Shaw also indicated that he shares the view that the pilots do not
have the money needed to keep the Lovebird in the air.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
February 5, 2010, RadioJamica said that JALPA is to make a last
ditch bid for control of Air Jamaica. The report related that
JALPA is to select an equity partner who will provide it with
funding in the event that it gets the nod from the government to
acquire the national airline. According to the report, JALPA said
that three local and foreign equity partners are jostling for
selection.
About Air Jamaica
Headquartered in Kingston, Jamaica, Air Jamaica Limited --
http://www.airjamaica.com/-- was founded in 1969. It flies
passengers and cargo to almost 30 destinations in the Caribbean,
Europe, and North America. Air Jamaica offers vacation packages
through Air Jamaica Vacations. The company closed its intra-
island services unit, Air Jamaica Express, in October 2005. The
Jamaican government owned 25% of the company after it went private
in 1994. However, in late 2004, the government assumed full
ownership of the airline after an investor group turned over its
75% stake. The Jamaican government does not plan to own Air
Jamaica permanently.
* * *
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
January 27, 2010, Moody's Investors Service changed the ratings
outlook of Air Jamaica Limited to stable. The Corporate Family
and senior unsecured ratings of Air Jamaica are affirmed at Caa1.
The change in outlook mirrors the change of the outlook of the
foreign currency bond rating of The Government of Jamaica to
stable, which occurred on January 22, 2010. The ratings reflect
Jamaica's unconditional and irrevocable guarantee of the rated
debt obligations of Air Jamaica. The foreign currency bond rating
of Jamaica remains Caa1, notwithstanding the January 22, 2010
downgrade of Jamaica's local currency bond rating by Moody's to
Caa2.
As reported in the TCR-LA on November 5, 2009, Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services said that it lowered its long-term corporate
credit rating on Air Jamaica Ltd. to 'CCC' from 'CCC+'. The
outlook is negative.
AIR JAMAICA: Divestment Committee Defends Government's Actions
--------------------------------------------------------------
The committee responsible for the sale of Air Jamaica Limited is
defending the government's action in the divestment process,
RadioJamaica reports. According to the report, the committee said
it is satisfied that, throughout the life of the Air Jamaica
Divestment Project, the government has taken all the necessary
steps to ensure a fair and transparent bidding process.
According to the report, the committee said that every effort was
also made to protect Air Jamaica against the threat of
transferring its management to an unqualified and unprepared
investor.
RadioJamaica notes that Dennis Lalor, chairman of the Air Jamaica
Divestment Committee, said he wanted to bring clarity to the
discussion about the process for the divestment of Air Jamaica.
Mr. Lalor, the report points out, said that the main objective of
the divestment project is to ensure the long term, sustainable
development of Air Jamaica, through a partnership between the
government and a private sector investor who had adequate
technical expertise and financial strength and who would implement
a sound business plan for the entity's future.

* JAMAICA: Economy Declines for Nine Consecutive Quarters
---------------------------------------------------------
Planning Institute of Jamaica, in its latest report, estimated
that the economy declined by 2.8% last year, RadioJamaica reports.
The report relates that the contraction comes as the economy
racked up its ninth consecutive quarter of decline during the
period October to December.
According to the report, Dr. Pauline Knight, Acting Head of the
PIOJ confirmed that the Jamaican economy was still moribund even
as the global economy was emerging from recession. "As expected,
the performance of the Jamaican economy continued to lag behind
global economic performance. We entered the recession after the
developed world and we will also bottom out after they do," the
report quoted Mr. Knight as saying. The report relates that that
means continued decline for Jamaica's battered economy which fell
2.8% last year.
RadioJamaica notes that is hoped that the country will see at
least 0.5% growth this year. However, the report points out, this
expected growth is dependent on continued revitalization in other
markets.
"This is predicated on the continued recovery in the other
economies, so it's still contingent on what is happening in the
rest of the world. If however, the world double dips, then we may
see a continuation of the decline that we've been seeing," the
report quoted Dr. Christine Clarke, Director Economic Planning and
Research at the PIOJ, as saying.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
November 26, 2009, Fitch Ratings has downgraded Jamaica's long-

from 'B'. The Outlooks on the Long-Term ratings remain Negative.
Jamaica's Country ceiling has also been lowered to 'B-' from 'B+'
and the short-term foreign currency IDR has been downgraded to 'C'
from 'B'.
* JAMAICA: To Receive Another Loan From IDB
-------------------------------------------
Jamaica is to receive JM$15 billion in loans from the Inter-
American Development Bank, RadioJamaica reports. The report
relates that the multilateral agency to release the three loans
which are valued at US$170 million.
According to the report, the money will be used to finance policy-
based programs. According to the report, the funding is expected
to be the first in a series of loans that Jamaica will receive in
coming weeks from multilateral agencies following last month's
signing of a US$1.2 billion standby facility with the
International Monetary Fund.
The government, the report says, had stated that the IMF deal
cleared the way for other multilateral agencies to release foreign
currency loans during this month. The receipt of these foreign
currency inflows will improve the Bank of Jamaica's power to
maintain stability in the foreign exchange market and reinforce
its expectation of reduced inflation in 2010, the report adds.

CEMEX SAB: Debt Valued at 97 Cents in Final Credit Swaps Auction
----------------------------------------------------------------
Shannon D. Harrington at Bloomberg News reports that credit-
default swaps traders settling contracts protecting loans and
bonds sold by CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. has set a value of 97 cents on
the dollar for the debt. The report, citing a data from the an
auction Web site run by Markit Group Ltd. and Creditex Group Inc,
relates that the the price, the result of an auction by 13 dealers
including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Barclays Plc, means sellers
of swaps on Cemex will pay 3 cents on the dollar to buyers of
protection to settle the contracts.
According to the report, the final price rose from an initial
value of 92 cents on the dollar earlier after the first round of
the auction. The report relates that dealers had reported a net
demand to buy US$90 million of the bonds and loans and matched
that with sell orders from the banks and their clients.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Latin America on
November 12, 2009, Dow Jones Newswires said that trading in
Cemex SAB's credit default swaps is essentially frozen
as contract holders await a delayed decision by the International
Swaps and Derivatives Association on whether company's US$15
billion debt restructuring was a credit event. The report related
that this has been the case for about two months, and will
continue until the question is resolved. According to the report,
a standard voting panel was unable to reach an 80% supermajority
decision on the fate of Cemex's outstanding CDS, and an external
review board will have to make the final call on whether the
refinancing constituted a credit event. The report, citing the
Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation, noted that the decision
will affect the holders of 1,387 outstanding CDS contracts with a
net notional value of just over US$591 million.

CORPORACION GEO: Shares May Rise to Three-Year High in 2010
-----------------------------------------------------------
Corporacion Geo SAB's shares may rise to a three-year high in 2010
as banks boost mortgage lending and the government backs more
loans, Thomas Black at Bloomberg News reports, citing Credit
Suisse Group AG.
According to the report, Alan Solis, an analyst at Credit Suisse
in Mexico City, said that the company shares will climb 26% to
MXN46 by year-end from a February 19 close of MXN36.51, as profit
rises 28% to MXN1.93 billion (US$150 million) and sales increase
more than 10%. The report relates that Mr. Solis rated the
company's stock "outperform."
"Geo is gaining market share," the report quoted Mr. Solis as
saying. The builder is benefiting from the government-subsidized
mortgages that make up more than 60% of home loans in Mexico, he
added.
The Mexican Construction Industry Chamber, the report notes, said
that single-family home building, the largest component of
construction, will help the industry expand 2.3% this year after
it shrank 7.5% in 2009 amid Mexico's worst economic slump since
the 1930s. Homebuilding for individual families makes up more
than 18 percent of construction, the chamber added.
"Our economic model shows the construction industry has begun a
gradual recovery," the report quoted the Mexico City-based
construction chamber as saying.

September 14, 2009, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that
it assigned its 'BB-' senior unsecured long-term debt rating to
Corporacion Geo S.A.B. de C.V.'s proposed US$200 million fixed-
rate notes.
FINCOMUN SERVICIOS: S&P Affirms 'BB-/B' Counterparty Credit Rating
------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's Rating Services affirmed its 'BB-/B'
counterparty credit and 'mxBBB+' national scale ratings on
FinComun, Servicios Financieros Comunitarios S.A. de C.V. The
outlook is stable.
"The ratings reflect the concentration of the company's loan
portfolio in only a few Mexican states, leaving FinComun's
portfolio and profitability levels vulnerable to unexpected
events. The ratings are also constrained by the higher debt
levels found in its target market and the stiff competition the
company faces. The ratings are balanced by the firm's proactive
and experience management, adequate funding base, and good capital
levels," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Angelica Bala.
Despite adequate credit risk management practices and extensive
experience, FinComun's asset quality indicators have been affected
by the H1N1 epidemic in the states where it operates, which
obliged the company to restructure its loans in order to increase
recovery. S&P has seen an improvement in its nonperforming loans
to 4.4% as of year-end 2009 from their historical levels of 9% in
November 2008. In S&P's view, this reflects management's ability
to detect problems and implementing risk management practices to
solve them. However, NPLs have increased due to the great amount
of loan restructuring made necessary after H1N1 affected almost
22% of FinComun's customers. S&P believes that the rate of
recovery of restructured loans is higher than collection made
without restructuring, and that the rate of delinquencies in
restructured loans has been gradually decreasing. Although S&P
also believes that the institution has adequate risk management
capabilities, S&P thinks its portfolio's vulnerability to
occurrences, such as epidemics and natural disasters, could make
problematic assets even more volatile and losses difficult to
predict.
The stable outlook is based on S&P's expectation that management
will continue to proactively manage credit risk, report positive
bottom-line results for 2010, and maintain good capitalization
levels. "If its asset quality problems lead to net losses, the
ratings could be negatively affected. On the other hand, S&P
could raise the ratings if FinComun can boost the geographic
diversification in its portfolio so that it's not as exposed to
unforeseen events that may affect some states more than others,"
Ms. Bala added.

***********
Monday's edition of the TCR-LA delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-LA editors from a variety of outside
sources during the prior week we think are reliable. Those
sources may not, however, be complete or accurate. The Monday
Bond Pricing table is compiled on the Friday prior to
publication. Prices reported are not intended to reflect actual
trades. Prices for actual trades are probably different. Our
objective is to share information, not make markets in publicly
traded securities. Nothing in the TCR-LA constitutes an offer
or solicitation to buy or sell any security of any kind. It is
likely that some entity affiliated with a TCR-LA editor holds
some position in the issuers' public debt and equity securities
about which we report.
Tuesday's edition of the TCR-LA features a list of companies
with insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on
the latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
publication. At first glance, this list may look like the
definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled. Assets, for example, reported at historical
cost net of depreciation may understate the true value of a
firm's assets. A company may establish reserves on its balance
sheet for liabilities that may never materialize. The prices at
which equity securities trade in public market are determined by
more than a balance sheet solvency test.
A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Thursday's edition of the TCR-LA. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged. Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com
