Prime Minister Gaston Browne says he plans to sue U.S.-based law firm Boies, Schiller & Flexner for exemplary damages, alleging the firm made defamatory statements linking him to the Alfa Nero superyacht matter.
Browne told state media that the firm failed to respond to a pre-action letter sent in late November by his attorneys, Rika Bird & Associates, and instead issued what he described as additional defamatory remarks, prompting his decision to take legal action.
He also said proceedings will be filed against former United Progressive Party leader Harold Lovell, whom he accuses of repeating the allegations publicly.
Rika Bird & Associates said statements made by attorney Martin DeLuca, who represents a claimant connected to the matter, were highly defamatory and damaged the prime minister’s reputation. The remarks were reported by international and local media.
The Alfa Nero has been the subject of legal and political dispute following its seizure and sale by the government earlier this year.
