The Alfa Nero has finally departed Antigua and Barbuda after being idle for over two years.
The yacht, now owned by a Turkish billionaire who paid $40 million, was initially auctioned for $67 million.

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt had won the bid but withdrew due to legal issues.
The vessel, associated with sanctioned Russian oligarch Andrey Guryev, was seized by the Antiguan government after the Ukraine invasion in 2022.
Legal challenges delayed its sale, and the matter remains unresolved.

God don’t like ugly. Gaston Browne and his government had no right to seize the vessel and sold it because of US- Russian Affairs. They just saw an opportunity to enrich themselves with whatever deal they had with the seller. You really think the money came back to the taxpayers? I hope they get sued for every fraction of a cent they have
This might not be the end of the Alpha Nero story!
I wish that the author of this article could spell the word ‘vessel’ correctly, not VESSLE.
@ the spelling of the word vessel antiguans spell like how they talk they need a spelling course really bad my husband and Inlaws are the same way and you can’t tell them the spell wrong oh boy this is why they can never ever write or do anything for me or my kids when it comes to documents letters etc
Ya’ll mus’ tap lub ugly. Good riddance in the name of the Almighty.
I want to know if they dont pre read their articles smh …..
kmt some countries u dnt mess around with because wen u believe everything over it never is
Recall when UPPites and a lawyer said this day would never come. I gather hell just froze over for them
Legal challenges delayed its sale, and the matter remains unresolved…..It’s not solved…..There is a strong possiblity that the case will lean in favor of the Russians so I would advise the government to keep that $40Mill on standby….
Tenman. Well yes and no. The boat has left yes. The money is still held up in legal proceedings.So we have no boat and no money……
Crop the picture properly to remove ticker at least lololololol
So many anti-Antigua propagandists! Pity we can’t”round them all up and apply the only fitting punishment – the guillotine. Having to co-exist with the likes of such haters of our beloved country, is far more distasteful and painful than having to suffer living with our owm homegrown so-called thugs!!
@ Tenman, I can assure you Gastonites that at some point this Alpha Nero financial fiasco and government illegal acquisition will eventually come back and bite the ABLP in dem ar#e. Guaranteed!
As always, ABLP acolytes burying their heads in a Gaston behind (opps, by bad, meant to say “in the sand” 😉).
@ Sweets $$$
Yet you have written an entire epistle with no punctuation marks. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Go figure.
