VIDEO: Government Defends Sale of Alfa Nero and Integrity Amidst Accusations

You can now listen to Antigua News articles!

I refer, in particular, to statements that were made by on behalf of Yulia Guryeva-Motlokhov, the daughter  of a Russian oligarch who is sanctioned by the US, UK and EU, among others. She has falsely claimed in our courts that she had an entitlement to the Alfa Nero in order to claim for herself the sales proceeds and damages and rob the people of Antigua & Barbuda of these public benefits. This alleged entitlement to the vessel was vigorously  opposed by the legal team which represented the State.  

She and her attorneys have made scandalous, malicious and entirely false accusations in order to further her illicit ends. The principal targets of her defamatory comments have been myself, and members of my family. There is not a grain of truth to any of these attacks on my, or my family’s integrity.

It is apparent that Ms Guryeva-Motlokhov has not acted alone, but in cahoots with desperate political opponents here in Antigua, who have previously raised some of these stale fabrications, which have already proven to be false.  

I will not be deterred by this smear campaign against me. I have always been an advocate and practitioner of good governance, and I will continue to govern our country with the highest standard of integrity.      

I am currently discussing with my attorneys, in Antigua and the United States, the legal remedies available to me as a result of the libelous statements and other wrongs that have been committed against me and my family.  (ENDS)

    How is the Russian lady trying to rob the citizens of Antigua and Barbuda when from what was published none of the monies were used to do anything for us the people? No roads no nothing. Miss me with the B.S. If is one thing what stays in the dark must come to light. We were never told who purchased the vessel until AP published their article so why the secretcy?
