Alki David Takes Legal Action Against Daily Mail for Alleged Corporate Misconduct
British businessman Alki David files a substantial complaint against Daily Mail executives, alleging a conspiracy involving child exploitation and media manipulation.
London, August 13, 2025 – British entrepreneur and public interest advocate Alkiviades “Alki” David has initiated significant legal proceedings in the King’s Bench Division of the High Court. His filing, which spans over 100 pages, accuses executives from the Daily Mail, its associated corporate entities, and journalist Rory Tingle of orchestrating a campaign marked by retaliation, suppression of evidence, and manipulation of narratives.
This comprehensive exhibit, submitted under Claim No: KB-2025-001991 for Justice Cotter's consideration, combines extensive investigative work alongside diverse strands of evidence. The allegations include corporate links to entities involved in the distribution of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), a video documenting a retaliatory false arrest, and biased media coverage favoring David's legal adversaries while critically overlooking significant developments in ongoing litigation.
Key allegations detailed in the filing include:
**1. Corporate Connections to CSAM Distribution:**
The document outlines a chain of corporate relationships extending from MailOnline, through DailyMailTV—distributed in the US by CBS Media Ventures—to CBS Interactive and its subsidiary, Download.com. This structure allegedly creates an environment perilous for CSAM distribution, where legitimate media is monetized alongside risky, inadequately regulated platforms.
**2. Retaliatory False Arrest:**
On August 4, 2025, David was detained outside the Daily Mail Group's Derry Street offices following claims made by Rory Tingle involving minor physical contact. However, CCTV footage later revealed that David had been pushed by security, contradicting Tingle's version. David’s arrest followed swiftly after the publication of a 13-minute exposé concerning corporate misconduct, positioning his arrest as possible retaliation.
**3. Violation of Ambassadorial Duties:**
Recognized as an ambassador for Antigua and Barbuda's green economy by Prime Minister Gaston Browne, the filing argues that David's wrongful arrest obstructed justice in an international context, directly impeding an ambassador's functions.
**4. Media Suppression and Favoritism:**
The filing claims that the Daily Mail initially covered a $900 million sexual assault verdict against David but then ceased reporting on important developments, such as a court order freezing that judgment in July 2025. The publication allegedly continued to favor adversaries Gary Dordick and Gloria Allred without acknowledging facts that could weaken their position.
**5. Support from Independent Media:**
Included in the filing is a reference to a viral article from Shockya, which corroborates David’s claim of false arrest by revealing Tingle’s dubious actions to protect vested interests tied to a CSAM network.
**Judicial Actions Requested:**
David's court submission seeks judicial recognition of the complete pattern of evidence presented, calls for a criminal investigation into Rory Tingle for multiple offenses including perjury, and requests acknowledgment of the breach of ambassadorial protections.
**Evidence Submitted:**
Included in the court filing are several exhibits illustrating corporate linkages, arrest timelines with CCTV footage, and screenshots of relevant articles and media coverage.
Alkiviades David stated, "This issue transcends my personal circumstances; it’s a matter of unveiling the mechanisms that use media, legal channels, and corporate partnerships to silence dissenters." He emphasizes the public's right to be informed about unethical ties in mainstream media concerning child exploitation.
The complete exhibit is made available to Justice Cotter and will be hosted publicly, signifying an escalated phase in David’s ongoing battle against what he terms a “modern-day, corporate-protected criminal syndicate.”
