Significant Development: Court Approves Motion to Intervene in Alfa Nero Case by PM Gaston Browne and Associates

12 April 2025 - 14:46

The court has granted a motion to intervene in the Alfa Nero case, filed by Prime Minister Gaston Browne and several key associates, marking a significant development in ongoing legal proceedings.

This decision comes as part of a broader legal strategy that includes notable figures such as Maria Bird-Browne, Gaston Andron Browne III, Hyacinth Harris, Darwin Telemaque, and Ickford Roberts, alongside companies like IF Antigua Inc., Farmer DG Browne Co. Limited, Cove Head Development Limited, and Cove Head Communications Limited.

The motion to intervene was unopposed and was approved by the court, providing a boost to Prime Minister Browne and his team.

Their legal brief also seeks to vacate a Section 1782 order previously issued by the court, which resulted in subpoenas being served on both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Clearing House Payments Company LLC.

As the case progresses, attorney Ms. Guryeva-Motlokhov is expected to respond to the motion to vacate and quash by April 25.

Following her response, Browne’s legal team will submit a reply on May 2, as they navigate the complexities of this high-stakes case.

  1. The court’s decision to grant the motion to intervene in the Alfa Nero case reflects a nuanced understanding of the legal landscape at play and the interests of those involved. Prime Minister Gaston Browne and his associates, by successfully filing this motion, have astutely positioned themselves to influence proceedings that could significantly impact their interests.

    It is noteworthy that the motion was unopposed, which speaks to the potential merit of their arguments and the strategic likelihood of success. The effort to vacate the Section 1782 order is a critical move; such orders are typically grounded in the principle of aiding foreign proceedings, but this case raises important questions about jurisdiction and due process.

    As the timeline progresses, with attorney Ms. Guryeva-Motlokhov set to respond followed by Browne’s team’s subsequent reply, the court will need to carefully weigh the arguments presented. The dynamics of this case are undoubtedly intricate, and the outcome could set precedents for how similar cases are approached in the future. Legal strategies must be meticulously crafted as they navigate the intersection of local and international law.

  4. Listen. Something is fishy about the governments desperation to clear its name. If your hands are clean then you will be vindicated. Relax and let God do his job

  5. It’s a shame that Gaston Browne just could not leave the people with their boat and be fair. But he’s nothing more than an egocentric greedy negro. smh shame.

    His pay day will come for him and his family.
