The silence is deafening. The avoidance is deliberate. And the rule of law in the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court just delivered another crushing blow to one of the most powerful, untouchable networks in global media and law.
On February 2, 2026, Alkiviades David, the Claimant, filed a re-issued letter to Justice René Williams in Case No. ANUHCV2025/0149. This declaration underscores a vital point: jurisdiction in Antigua & Barbuda has not only been seized, but it is now impossible for the defendants to escape the court’s authority.
This case is unprecedented, as it not only involves powerful individual defendants but also domestic political players who unintentionally anchor the territorial jurisdiction firmly within the land. The claim stipulates fourteen defendants, including high-profile media figures, firmly creating a legal tether to Antigua.
The defendants’ non-engagement speaks volumes, establishing a record of choice rather than mere accident, as the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court gears up for a monumental case potentially worth hundreds of billions. The Attorney General’s Office has been involved, and public announcements have ensured that the defendants cannot claim ignorance of the proceedings.
Ultimately, Antigua & Barbuda stands firm, wielding its judicial authority like an 'unbreakable hammer' to foster accountability in the global media-legal landscape. As this case continues, the world watches closely, waiting to see how this small nation reshapes traditional notions of jurisdiction and accountability.
