Antigua and Barbuda Hit with US$136K Legal Bill in Alfa Nero Controversy; Cost Continues to Climb

18

The Chairman of Cabinet indicated that the cost of the legal defense in the United States Court in the Alpha Nero matter, triggered by operatives of The United Progressive Party, now stands at One Hundred and Thirty-Six Thousand US Dollars.

A complete fabrication of claims by a Russian citizen, fed to that individual by the members of the opposition, have now cost the Antigua and Barbuda Public a significant sum which may yet increase.

This unpatriotic, costly behavior has also damaged the country’s reputation and unjustly sullied the character of the country’s leader.

  1. This Government is so insulting to the intelligence of the people of this country, not even the few sensible supporters they have believe the shit they are spewing, of course the Licksplittlers will accept it, hook, line and sinker because they cannot think for themselves a possible exception is Faithful National #1, he obviously knows better but he is so accustomed to licking Gaston’s backside he’s addicted

  2. Honestly one of the funniest claims out here, UPP just have casual contact with Russian civilians which happens so happens to be a billionaire and owner of the ship. You know like we all do just hitting up our Russian oligarchs to sue the PM and have yacht owners all over the got talking about it, even in the mainstreams news, youtube yacht channels have 200k views since day the day it happened. But surely that was the work of UPP and not their own opinion and surely yacht owners do not talk to each other because there are just sooo many of them.

  3. At this point I don’t know if Browne believes what he’s saying or he just says shit. Does he actually believe UPP are scheming against him personally so he have to use tax dollars in a personal lawsuit or he says it to justify not paying himself either way it’s stupid. They can pay lawsuits but not pay wages, rent nor fix public buildings be infested with mole.

  4. Well well well well!!!!!!!
    Who is before the court?
    Is it Antigua and Barbuda or GASTON BROWNE and HIS CLOSE CIRCLE?
    I think it is the later.
    So why shojkd Antigua abd Barbuda be hit with legal bill?.
    How much more corrupt can this cabinet be!!!!!

  5. It seems like someone has told Gaston that the way to win the next election is to blame UPP for even things that he has done! I think he needs to lay off Facebook and this media since they are by and large fuelling his belief.
    Time will tell

  6. When are the people of Antigua and Barbuda are going to see Gaston and the ultimate liar Max (Christopher Lee) Hurst for who they really are. Gaston made a decision to sell the Alpha Nero now that it’s costing the country tons of US$ he is doing everything he can to implicate the opposition. That’s the coward’s way

  7. Where UPP get money to take Gaston et al to court. People wake up and stop believing this idiot of a PM. Your money is being used to defend him and his family while he build his $20 mansion.

  8. Max Hurst has to be about 101 years old by now but he looks good for his age. He needs to live his life pleasing unto God though because all of us has to die one day.

  9. Yep folks, this is the fools you voted for.

    It’s funny how quickly money is found for paying lawyers, but it take years to settle the debts of the hard working Antiguan’s.

    The scourge of Antigua continues folks, and by the time they are finished, there would be nothing left at the bottom of the pot to even scrape up.

    No integrity at all..if this man had any integrity, he wouldn’t have burden the nation with this hefty bill..it’s a damn shame. But we all know who this man is, the biggest swindler in Antigua.

    I guess I learned very well from the likes of Allen Stanford.

    Y’all better get rid of this man, for real.

  10. “Repeated betrayal or neglect can erode a child’s ability to trust others. For these children, lying becomes a defense mechanism to protect themselves from potential disappointment or hurt”. Max must be concealing some very dark childhood secrets. He lies so easily and at 80 something years old, must be in the advance stages of mythomania. We still have to wonder if the figure that they are stating is really true or it’s an attempt to scam us again. It’s about time we pushed back and let these thieves pay for their legal fees.

  11. Max christopher lee Hurst I love it🤣🤣
    The perfect name for a charlatan😉
    He don’t see what’s going on with Jerry watts..
    In pain every day!..hmm!
    Surely your lies and deceit will come back to haunt thee..
    The upp is causing this fiasco with the upp
    When, the opposition Walked out of parliament
    How foolish can people in antigua be?
    How foolish!
    They literally walked🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️ out of the proceedings..and still getting blamed for the fiasco!..smh🤔

  12. @Enquiring Mind, Max Hurst is already dead, his age might be just what you have suggested, what you see on TV is a mummified version of him, so he can be programmed to deliver Gaston’s verbiage

  13. Maybe Diddy should blame UPP, too.

    What does this have to do with UPP? This is tiring. Not everything is political; just take accountability.

  14. Why does this man keep blaming the opposition? The opposition party never told his government to sell the people’s boat. Are you telling me that he is going keep doing what he like, and then blame the opposition party for it?

  15. Why doesn’t someone shut this man’s mouth, permanently, please. I don’t know how his other half stands him, wow

  16. time for this man to retire, stop talking shit to Antiguans you’re trying to play them for fools. Tax payers shouldn’t be paying Glaston Brown and family legal bills Antigua has nothing to do with that boat.A greedy man blaming every other person but himself. UPP didn’t hold the Russians boat hostage.

  17. The divide and rule playbook is tired, blaming opposition, Chups. Island too small for this Democratic (NOT!) nonsense. Move over the colonial puppet and bring in a real Man or strong Woman with new ideas – ‘People first !’
    Tired of this ‘Waste Man’.
