The Government of Antigua and Barbuda has published, in full, a detailed Public Communications Brief outlining its position on the ongoing legal dispute involving the Alfa Nero superyacht. The document, now available online, sets out the Government’s case that the seizure and sale of the vessel were conducted lawfully, with full international cooperation and transparency.

It responds directly to claims made in a U.S. court filing by Yulia Guryeva-Motlokhov, the daughter of a sanctioned Russian oligarch, describing her legal action as baseless, politically motivated, and an attempt to intimidate Antiguan officials. The brief also addresses the engagement of U.S. legal counsel, the use of proceeds from the yacht’s sale, and the broader economic implications of the allegations being echoed by members of the political opposition.

The full document is now accessible to the public as part of the Government’s commitment to transparency:
