In an unprecedented move, Antigua & Barbuda's Sovereign Wealth Fund has unleashed a Declaration of Lawfare against the U.S., shaking the foundations of international law and diplomacy. The document, spearheaded by legal counsel Rudy Delarenta from the SwissX Islands, accuses U.S. entities of orchestrating a conspiracy involving asset seizures and judicial misconduct.
Central to this dramatic legal battle is the seizure of the Alpha Nero yacht. The declaration claims that influential U.S. figures are engaged in a systematic effort to suppress sovereign movements and dissent. Key figures named include Prime Minister Gaston Browne, various cabinet members, and media entrepreneur Alkiviades "Alki" David, who has faced recurrent legal assaults.
“This is not mere protest,” Delarenta asserts, positioning this as a movement towards global accountability. The extensive declaration calls for RICO lawsuits against California's government and legal bodies alongside various legal actions across the UK and EU and urges dialogue at the highest levels—specifically a summit involving U.S. President Donald Trump.
Antigua continues to advocate for transparency regarding the yacht's sale, firmly claiming that allegations of misconduct are unfounded. The government maintains that the legal proceedings initiated by Yulia Guryeva-Motlokhov—a daughter of a sanctioned oligarch—aim to extort and mislead rather than expose truth.
As this legal drama unfolds, the Caribbean nation stands firm, seeking a just resolution that recognizes its sovereignty amid mounting pressure from international legal challenges. The world is watching closely as Antigua fights back with legal resolve and defiant pride.
