Senior Counsel Anthony Astaphan
Senior Counsel Anthony Astaphan says the government followed appropriate legal protocols throughout the process. Astaphan emphasized that the steps taken were in line with regulations, providing a solid foundation for the transaction.
The Alfa Nero, renowned for its luxurious features and high-profile ownership history, was sold following a thorough review of its legal standing and ownership rights.
Astaphan explained that the government’s actions reflected a commitment to transparency and legality, ensuring that all necessary procedures were adhered to.
Every sensible citizen knows in hus/her heart that the government acted in the best interest of the country. I shudder to think of how the UPP would have handled this entire saga, from the US placing the vessel under sanction, to the obvious abandonment of the vessel in our pristine waters, through the repeated failure of anyone coming forward to claim the prized vessel AND reimburse the Government and taxpayers the huge sums being racked up daily for maintenance of this mega yacht, jjust lying idle creating real and potential damage to OUR maritime environment. Nero Pringle would have continued to fiddle while Rome burned , the jackass Quinn and fellow journalist; de jezebel would be busy spinning one outlandish explanation after the other using their gift of gab to explain away their total paralysis in responding to Russian problem. Thank God we have capable, knowledgeable leaders who can and will safely steer our modest ship of state through the raging waters set in motion by the useless other side. They are absolutely shameless!
Well let the court case be over and we can see the everything unfold but as it stands won’t be governed by my emotions.
Why won’t they just let this matter rest. Jesus Christ man
The upp would have left the vessel alone f.n.#1
Yeah, whatever. Sounds like the government just did what it needed to do. Not sure why everyone’s making a big deal about it.
