In a groundbreaking declaration that has sent ripples through global legal circles, the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Antigua & Barbuda has launched an unprecedented "Declaration of Lawfare" against the United States. Spearheaded by legal counsel Rudy Delarenta from the SwissX Islands, Antigua claims the U.S. is part of a coordinated conspiracy involving asset seizures, judicial manipulation, and political sabotage.
At the forefront of this legal showdown is the contentious seizure of the Alpha Nero yacht, intricately linked to an aggressive lawsuit spearheaded by Boies Schiller Flexner LLP against officials from Antigua, including Prime Minister Gaston Browne. The accusation extends to media entrepreneur Alkiviades "Alki" David, who has allegedly faced ongoing legal battles.
The declaration outlines a broad legal strategy with multiple lawsuits filed, including RICO claims in the U.S. targeting California officials and lawyers allegedly involved in racketeering operations. Antigua is also poised to initiate civil actions in the U.K. and the EU, asserting that international legal norms have been undermined.
Antigua is summoning a diplomatic summit with U.S. leadership, claiming “unprecedented breakdown in global legal expectations” and calling for an urgent response. A government spokesperson highlighted their commitment to transparency, asserting that the sale of the Alpha Nero yacht was legitimate and publicly accountable, refuting any allegations of wrongdoing.
With their sovereignty at stake, the government remains adamant about protecting its reputation from what they describe as malicious legal maneuvers intended to intimidate and extract financial settlements. As this dramatic legal tussle unfolds, it promises to redefine the approaches nations take in defending their sovereignty against perceived injustices.
