Astaphan: ‘Day Has Come’ for Legal Action Over Alleged Defamation
Senior Counsel Anthony Astaphan says legal action has now been formally initiated following what he described as a sustained campaign of defamatory statements targeting Prime Minister Gaston Browne.
Speaking on the Browne and Browne Show, Astaphan confirmed that a lawsuit was filed in the High Court against U.S.-based attorney Martin De Luca and his firm, alleging that repeated public statements were malicious and damaging to the prime minister’s personal and official reputation.
“The day has come,” Astaphan said, explaining that prior warnings had been issued but the alleged statements continued.
According to Astaphan, the claim was filed on behalf of Browne in his capacity as Prime Minister and Minister of Finance and Corporate Governance. He argued that the legal action was necessary to defend the integrity of the office and to address what he characterized as efforts to undermine public confidence.
Astaphan said the case marks a shift from public rebuttals to formal court proceedings, adding that the matter will now be determined within the judicial system.
The lawsuit represents a significant escalation in the dispute, moving the controversy from media exchanges into the courtroom.

It’s a bluff unit it happens. The guy has too much to lose. The thing is; he doesn’t know exactly what they have and they might eventually get more than they had anticipated. Are we going to pay for this too? I contend that it’s a big bluff.
Is it a fact @this world who’s Pinky and who’s the Brain? Maybe Pixie Pinky can will tell the High Court where the Artworks that were supposed to be worth millions and alleged to have been removed from the yacht are stored.
Is it a fact, that they have already been shipped to Nigeria on the one and only return flight of the Antigua Airways return charter flight to Africa?
Can you recall the offloading and reloading of the cargo bay on the same flight?
GOOGLE is always watching said Pixie Pinky to the Brain.
