In a bold maneuver that could redefine international legal dynamics, the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Antigua & Barbuda has made headlines by declaring a "Lawfare" campaign against the United States. Spearheaded by legal counsel Rudy Delarenta from the SwissX Islands, this unprecedented declaration accuses U.S. entities—both government and private—of orchestrating an expansive conspiracy that includes asset seizures, misuse of the judicial system, and political interference.
At the heart of this dispute is the controversial seizure of Alpha Nero, a superyacht. The declaration focuses on several U.S.-based actors tied to litigation efforts against senior Antiguan officials and high-profile individuals, including Prime Minister Gaston Browne and media entrepreneur Alkiviades “Alki” David. The fund asserts these actions constitute a coordinated racketeering effort to undermine sovereign interests and suppress dissent.
"This is not mere protest; this is a calculated act of resistance," stated Delarenta. He highlighted that this declaration marks the onset of what he termed a "global reckoning."
The declaration outlines a sweeping legal strategy that includes:
1. **U.S. RICO Lawsuits:** Filed against California's Governor Gavin Newsom and various legal entities accused of malfeasance linked to the yacht's seizure.
2. **UK & EU Legal Actions:** Plans for private prosecutions utilizing statutes like the Proceeds of Crime Act and Fraud Act.
3. **Caribbean Legal Measures:** Drawing upon laws aimed at combating money laundering and protecting national interests.
Furthermore, Antigua & Barbuda is calling for a diplomatic meeting with U.S. leadership, including former President Donald Trump, to address what they term "an unprecedented breakdown in global legal norms".
Response to these claims is already unfolding, with the Antiguan government emphasizing the legal legitimacy of the yacht's seizure and sale, which they assert was conducted with full international cooperation. They maintain that the associated lawsuit by Yulia Guryeva-Motlokhov—whose father is a sanctioned oligarch—seeks to extort the Antiguan government through unfounded claims of corruption.
The government rebuts allegations, emphasizing that every dollar from the yacht's sale was accounted for and utilized for public purposes. They highlight the potential harm to their economy, tourism, and overall international standing due to ongoing unfounded accusations.
Overall, this situation presents a complex legal labyrinth with the potential to reshape not just local but also international relations in legal matters.
