The Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda has announced that his U.S. attorney is drafting a pre-action letter to the prominent American law firm Boies Schiller Flexner, seeking $10 million in damages for alleged defamation tied to what he describes as the “Alfa Nero fabrication.” In an online statement, the Prime Minister revealed that the letter will be delivered within 48 hours to David Boies, a partner at the firm. While specific details of the defamatory statements were not disclosed, the Prime Minister accused the firm of disseminating false information related to the ongoing Alfa Nero controversy. The statement also hinted at potential legal action against Harold Lovell, a former political leader, suggesting a broader legal strategy. The Alfa Nero, a superyacht seized in Antigua in 2023 and subsequently sold by the government, has been at the heart of political, legal, and international disputes, leading to numerous court challenges and public debates. Further details on the planned legal action remain undisclosed.
