In a landmark move, British businessman and public advocate Alkiviades "Alki" David has lodged an extensive legal filing against the Daily Mail Group at the King’s Bench Division of the High Court. This 100-page claim accuses executives, journalist Rory Tingle, and corporate partners of orchestrating a strategic campaign of retaliation and disinformation. The document, filed as Claim No: KB-2025-001991 before Justice Cotter, amalgamates years of investigation and substantial evidence.
**Core Accusations in the Lawsuit**
**Corporate Links to Child Abuse Material (CSAM)**
The exhibit identifies a troubling corporate connection from MailOnline to CBS Media Ventures, which allegedly facilitates the dissemination of CSAM through platforms like Download.com. The filing describes a "corporate environment of foreseeable risk," where the Daily Mail's legitimate media content is entangled with platforms facing scrutiny for child exploitation.
**False Arrest Incident**
On August 4, 2025, Tingle accused David of minor assault, leading to David's arrest outside the Daily Mail offices. However, CCTV evidence later disproved these allegations, revealing that David was actually pushed by security. Released with only a caution the following day, David's arrest coincided suspiciously with his release of a critical exposé on Mirror Group’s alleged misconduct, suggesting retaliatory motivation.
**Violation of Ambassadorial Privileges**
David, serving as a government-mandated ambassador for the green economy in Antigua and Barbuda, claims that his wrongful arrest obstructs his official duties. The filing argues that such interference from a media entity represents aggravated obstruction of justice in an international realm.
**Media Suppression and Bias**
Despite extensive coverage of David's $900 million sexual assault verdict, the Daily Mail reportedly failed to report on crucial subsequent developments, such as the court's freezing of that judgment. Meanwhile, it allegedly continued to provide favorable coverage regarding adversarial figures, enhancing their narratives while disregarding information detrimental to them.
**Supporting Evidence from Independent Media**
The lawsuit references a viral article from Shockya that supports David's claims of false arrest, exposing Tingle’s alleged fabrications in the context of corporate interests tied to CSAM distribution.
**Judicial Actions Sought**
David’s court filing calls for:
- Recognition of the overarching pattern of evidence.
- Criminal investigation against Rory Tingle for perjury and related offenses.
- Acknowledgment of the breach of his ambassadorial protections as an obstruction of justice.
The submitted exhibits include corporate linkage charts, a detailed arrest timeline with CCTV footage, and screenshots evidencing biased media coverage.
**David's Statement**
“This case transcends my personal issues; it’s about unveiling the mechanisms that manipulate the press and judicial processes to silence dissenters. The public must be aware when media entities financially align with those involved in exploitation,” David stated.
The complete court exhibit has been submitted to Justice Cotter and will be accessible publicly, as this lawsuit represents a significant escalation in David’s fight against what he describes as a “corporate-protected criminal syndicate.”
