VIDEO: PM Browne Has No Regrets in Selling Alfa Nero
Prime Minister Gaston Browne expressed no regrets over the sale of the Alfa Nero during a panel discussion on ABS last night.
He emphasized that the superyacht presented significant risks to Antigua and Barbuda, especially concerning potential environmental hazards.
Since its sale to a Turkish billionaire, the government has faced numerous legal challenges.
Browne highlighted concerns that the vessel could sink, which could lead to liabilities costing millions to simply maintain its docking at Falmouth Harbour.
