Alkiviades David Takes Legal Action Against Daily Mail for Alleged Retaliation and CSAM Links

In a comprehensive legal filing, Alkiviades David accuses the Daily Mail and its associates of participating in a retaliatory campaign, linking them to the distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and calling for a criminal investigation into journalist Rory Tingle.

London, August 13, 2025 – British businessman and public interest litigant Alkiviades "Alki" David has initiated a significant legal proceeding within the King’s Bench Division of the High Court, alleging that executives of the Daily Mail, along with corporate partners and journalist Rory Tingle, engaged in a calculated scheme aimed at retaliation and manipulation of narratives.

The exhibit, exceeding 100 pages and filed under Case No: KB-2025-001991 before Justice Cotter, assembles years of investigative findings alongside diverse evidentiary strands. These include connections between corporate entities involved in the distribution of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), footage of a disputed wrongful arrest, and a nuanced portrayal of legal conflicts where adversarial narratives received undue emphasis due to media bias.

Key notable aspects of the allegations include:

**Corporate Linkages to CSAM Distribution**
The filing highlights a corporate lineage stemming from MailOnline (Daily Mail) to DailyMailTV, which is broadcast in the U.S. by CBS Media Ventures. This pathway eventually connects with CBS Interactive and Download.com—both platforms impacting the distribution of CSAM. The report asserts that this structure represents “a corporate environment of foreseeable risk,” blurring the lines between conventional media and risky, poorly regulated online platforms.

**Retaliatory False Arrest Incident**
On August 4, 2025, David found himself arrested outside the Daily Mail Group’s Derry Street office after journalist Rory Tingle claimed a minor physical altercation occurred. However, surveillance footage revealed that David was actually pushed by security personnel. He was later released with only a caution, with the arrest directly following the publication of a controversial exposé about misconduct at Mirror Group. This incident raises concerns of retaliatory actions against David.

**Ambassadorial Rights Breach**
David, serving as an ambassador for the green economy of Antigua and Barbuda, appointed by Prime Minister Gaston Browne, claims that the wrongful arrest obstructed his judicial protections as an ambassador, thus constituting an international justice obstruction.

**Media Suppression and Advocacy for Adversaries**
Despite the media's extensive coverage of David’s prior legal battle resulting in a $900M sexual assault verdict, the Daily Mail allegedly withheld information regarding the legal actions that followed, including the judge imposing a freeze on the verdict. Concurrently, the Daily Mail continued to present favorable portrayals of David's legal opponents, illustrating a conscious suppression of critical information.

**Independent Verification Through Viral Reporting**
The court filing references a viral article published by Shockya on August 10, 2025, corroborating David's claims of wrongful arrest while shedding light on the broader context of corporate interests linked to CSAM.

**Judicial Actions Sought**
The High Court submission requests various judicial actions, including:

1. Acknowledgment of the overarching evidence pattern.
2. Initiation of a criminal investigation against Rory Tingle for perjury and related offenses.
3. Recognition of the significant breach of ambassadorial rights and classification of the arrest as an international justice obstruction.

The comprehensive exhibit submitted to the court, which is available for public access, emphasizes the gravity of these allegations and aims to raise awareness about potential corporate misconduct and its implications.

Alkiviades David stated, “This is not just about me—it’s about exposing the machinery that uses the press, the courts, and corporate alliances to silence those who speak against it. The public deserves to know when mainstream media is tied financially and operationally to platforms implicated in child exploitation, and when journalists abuse the justice system to retaliate against whistleblowers.”
