yacht, including claims involving Venezuelan oil and gold transactions. He maintained that those accusations were unfounded and part of what he described as a \u201cfishing expedition\u201d by his accusers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Browne, the court found no evidence of wrongdoing after financial records were examined, leading to the quashing of a subpoena and the dismissal of the appeal. He argued that the outcome amounts to full vindication, stating that investigators failed to uncover any improper transactions despite access to banking information.<\/p><div id=\"antig-3761976797\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"500X500 (1)\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>He also indicated that steps are being taken to recover legal costs incurred by the government in defending the matter, noting that public funds were used because he was acting in his official capacity.
