The Sovereign Wealth Fund and notable figures in Antigua claim they are victims of a broader international conspiracy aimed at undermining their sovereignty and integrity.

**Antigua & Barbuda Takes Legal Stand Against U.S. in International Lawfare Declaration**
Antigua & Barbuda announces a historic legal offensive against the U.S., citing claims of transnational racketeering and campaign of judicial intimidation.
In a groundbreaking legal initiative that has sent reverberations through diplomatic circles, the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Antigua & Barbuda along with Redonda—through their attorney Rudy Delarenta from the SwissX Islands—has announced a Declaration of Lawfare targeting the United States of America. The fund argues this unprecedented legal act responds to alleged systematic campaigns of judicial misuse, asset seizures, and political machinations orchestrated by various U.S. entities.
Central to this legal challenge is the controversial seizure of the Alpha Nero yacht, which the fund claims was subject to orchestrated attacks led by the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner LLP. Specifically targeted are Prime Minister Gaston Browne, members of the Antiguan Cabinet, and media entrepreneur Alkiviades “Alki” David, who has reportedly endured ongoing legal harassment.
Rudy Delarenta has described the declaration as more than a protest, stating, “This is strategic resistance. This is the beginning of a global reckoning.” The declaration details multiple avenues of legal action, including:
1. **RICO Lawsuits in the U.S.** under 18 U.S. Code § 1964(c), aimed at:
- The State of California
- Governor Gavin Newsom
- The State Bar of California
- Legal actors and insurance companies involved in alleged malicious litigations tied to the case
2. **Legal Actions in the UK and EU**, where SwissX plans to initiate private prosecutions under various financial legislation aimed at exposing corrupt practices and cooperating with authorities including the Serious Fraud Office.
3. **Caribbean Legal Maneuvers**, invoking local laws such as the Money Laundering (Prevention) Act to protect sovereignty and assert rights against external pressures.
Antigua is also calling for a diplomatic summit between former President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Browne, arguing for urgent discussions in the face of what they term an unprecedented breakdown in global legal principles.
In response to the lawsuit regarding the Alpha Nero yacht, the Government of Antigua and Barbuda has clarified that the yacht was seized lawfully and sold with total compliance with international regulations. They assert that claims by claimant Yulia Guryeva-Motlokhov, who they allege holds no legal stake in the yacht, are unfounded and motivated by vindictiveness.
Authorities stress that they have acted transparently, with detailed financial reports supporting their claims of lawful conduct, and that no evidence of alleged corruption exists. The government emphasizes its dedication to upholding its reputation and will continue to cooperate fully with international partners.
Antigua and Barbuda continues to engage legal counsel in the U.S., a move described as a standard precaution to safeguard the nation’s interests and protect its reputation in light of the escalating legal challenges. The government seeks to counter any false narratives while reinforcing its legal actions as both justified and necessary.
The unique challenges posed by allegations from abroad have prompted the Antiguan government to urge political actors within the country to refrain from spreading unverified claims that endanger the nation's economy and international relationships.
As this situation unfolds, Antigua and Barbuda's leadership stands firm in its resolve to protect its sovereignty and the integrity of its actions on the global stage.
