In a significant and confrontational move, the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Antigua & Barbuda has filed a Declaration of Lawfare against the United States, alleging an extensive plot involving asset seizures and legal sabotage. Legal counsel Rudy Delarenta asserts that U.S. governmental and private entities have conspired against Antiguan officials and a disabled UK citizen, targeting them through a series of contentious legal maneuvers surrounding the yacht Alpha Nero.

Antigua & Barbuda hits back at the U.S. with a Declaration of Lawfare, claiming collusion and manipulation in a sensational yacht seizure case.
Central to the controversy is the seizure of the Alpha Nero yacht, seen as an illegal act orchestrated by U.S. law firms, particularly Boies Schiller Flexner LLP, aiming at discrediting Prime Minister Gaston Browne and other key political figures in Antigua. The declaration frames the alleged actions as part of a wider conspiracy that extends beyond Antigua, alleging manipulation of legal systems by international players. Delarenta emphatically states, “This is not merely protest; this is strategic resistance. This is the beginning of a global reckoning.”
The declaration details planned legal responses, including RICO lawsuits targeting California officials and civil actions in the UK and EU, supported by allegations tied to the murder of attorney Mark Lieberman. Caribbean legal measures invoking anti-money laundering laws are also included, along with escalations to international legal bodies such as the ICC and ICJ.
Additionally, Antigua is appealing for a high-level diplomatic summit with U.S. leadership, urging a confrontation of what it describes as an unprecedented breakdown in global legal norms.
In response to these allegations, the Antiguan government vehemently defends the lawful seizure of the Alpha Nero, insisting that all actions had adherence to international protocols and U.S. regulations. They deny any corruption claims levied by Yulia Guryeva-Motlokhov, daughter of a sanctioned Russian oligarch, asserting that her court actions are unfounded and strategic attempts to harass the government.
Antigua’s government contends that the accusations not only threaten its international credibility but also risk economic stability by deterring investments and damaging its reputation among tourism and banking sectors. They maintain that despite not being direct defendants in the U.S. lawsuit, engaging American legal counsel is a necessary protective measure for safeguarding the nation’s reputation and ensuring accurate representation in court proceedings.
As legal battles unfold, Antigua stands firm on its commitment to transparency, inviting discussions around fair practices and international cooperation, while preparing to vigorously defend against what it sees as malicious legal maneuvers.
