Alfa Nero Superyacht
The Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda has expressed its satisfaction with the recent ruling from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, which quashed all subpoenas filed by Yulia Guryeva-Motlokhov, the daughter of a sanctioned Russian national and former owner of the super-yacht Alfa Nero. The subpoenas had been directed at Prime Minister Gaston Browne, his family members, senior government officials, and several private entities.
In a ruling by Judge Jesse M. Furman, the applicant Guryeva-Motlokhov did not fulfill the requirements for relief under 28 U.S.C. § 1782. Consequently, the court quashed the subpoenas, vacated its previous order that allowed the subpoenas, and instructed the applicant’s legal counsel to destroy any obtained materials.
Prime Minister Browne and his Cabinet have repeatedly claimed that this legal action, supported by senior opposition figures, was merely a politically motivated attempt to undermine the credibility of the Prime Minister, his family, and senior public servants.
In light of the ruling, the Government of Antigua and Barbuda reaffirmed its steadfast commitment to transparency, the rule of law, and the highest standards of public accountability.
The Cabinet also emphasized that it will continue to firmly resist any attempts, whether from domestic or foreign sources, to defame its officials or to coerce the nation into altering decisions that are made in the sovereign interest of its people.
This ruling marks a significant moment in maintaining the integrity of the government and the sovereignty of Antigua and Barbuda amidst ongoing challenges.
So who is left to pay the legal fees now? Did they award cost?
I have a feeling like these guys will not let up and they will try to appear the matter. They will have the same results. I’m only worried about how much it will cost us
I heard that the woman was threatened. Someone sent some death threat to her . Could be just lies.
I’ve never heard of Russians fearing anyone, but I wouldn’t be phased to know that this is true. Especially due to the man y’all seems to put on pedestals and speak highly of. I hope one day we will sit to realize the amount of money this case is taking from us as citizens! Every tax count at this point and the missing millions is still not accounted for. Remember one Russian bullet is equal to all the guns we have here, both legal and illegal.
Justice prevails! Glad to see our PM and public servants cleared in this politically motivated stunt. The ones who thought they would succeed in bringing down the PM name, I’m here to tell y’all that you will always fail. Bunch of idiotic goons trying to make a name
