Prime Minister Gaston Browne says he feels \u201cfully vindicated\u201d after a US federal court dismissed subpoenas issued against him, his family, senior officials, and private companies in Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled in favour of the Antiguan government, quashing all subpoenas requested by Yulia Guryeva-Motlokhov, daughter of a sanctioned Russian national linked to the luxury yacht Alfa Nero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a written decision, Judge Jesse M. Furman found that Guryeva-Motlokhov \u201cfailed to meet the statutory requirements for relief\u201d under US law. The court also vacated its prior authorisation and ordered the destruction of any materials obtained.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Prime Minister Browne welcomed the ruling, saying it confirmed the government\u2019s position that the subpoenas were \u201cnever justified\u201d and were part of a baseless attempt to harass officials.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will always defend the integrity of our institutions and the good name of those who serve them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
