Prime Minister Gaston Browne says his son, Gaston Andron Browne III, is prepared to cooperate with American lawyers seeking evidence concerning the US$40 million sale of the Alfa Nero superyacht, as a court status report falls due today, Monday, November 9.

Speaking on Saturday, Browne said his son’s attorneys had written to US law firm Boies Schiller Flexner confirming his willingness to assist, including allowing scrutiny of his bank transactions and travelling to the United States.

The announcement comes ahead of today’s deadline for a progress report to a Florida federal court on efforts to obtain evidence relating to the yacht’s sale.

The deadline concerns an update on those efforts and does not require Browne III to submit his bank records today.

In September, the court authorised additional subpoenas seeking documents from Browne III and others connected to the transaction.

The evidence is being sought by Russian national Yulia Guryeva-Motlokhov, who has challenged the Antigua and Barbuda government’s seizure and sale of the vessel.

Browne’s statement signals his son’s willingness to cooperate. It does not establish that any bank records or other documents have already been provided.
