Alki David Takes Legal Action Against Daily Mail: A Shift from Open Letter to High Court Filing
Alkiviades David escalates allegations against the Daily Mail with formal legal claims, following a public Open Letter that called for accountability regarding editorial practices and alleged protection of abusers.
August 13, 2025 marks a notable development in the ongoing controversy surrounding the Daily Mail and its editorial decisions, as Alkiviades David's recent High Court filing transforms earlier public claims into structured legal arguments, supported by evidence and third-party endorsements. The origins of this legal battle trace back to December 2024 when David issued a pointed Open Letter on Shockya, which accused the paper of protecting individuals linked to abuse while suppressing the voices of survivors.
Recently, David expanded upon these allegations in a formal court filing (Claim No: KB-2025-001991) within the King’s Bench Division of the High Court, encapsulating the essence of his Open Letter into a legally actionable format. This shift from public commentary to legal documentation underscores the seriousness of the accusations against the Daily Mail, implicating various corporate affiliations and editorial choices that could have facilitated misconduct.
In his High Court submission, David cites multiple grievances including a retaliatory false arrest that occurred outside the Daily Mail’s headquarters on August 4, 2025. This event, precipitated by a misleading claim from reporter Rory Tingle, is documented through Metropolitan Police CCTV footage, which contradicts Tingle's assertions. Additionally, the filing exposes corporate links to troubling activities, detailing connections between the Daily Mail and platforms engaged in the distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
Moreover, David’s role as a representative ambassador for Antigua and Barbuda’s green economy is emphasized, claiming the false arrest obstructed justice on an international scale. David also highlights discrepancies in media coverage, illustrating how the Daily Mail amplified certain narratives while downplaying significant legal verdicts that favored him, thus manipulating public perception.
The filing also urges Justice Cotter to consider several judicial requests, including the investigation of Rory Tingle for perjury and related offenses, while recognizing the international implications of the alleged obstruction of justice.
As this case unfolds, David is adamant that moving from public discourse to legal recourse reflects a deeper commitment to accountability. “The Open Letter warned them,” he states emphatically, “the filing proves it. Now it’s on the record, in court, and backed by evidence they can’t ignore.” For those interested, a copy of the filing along with supporting exhibits will be accessible for public scrutiny, inviting citizens to engage with the developments of this pivotal legal battle.
