SOURCE: REAL NEWS – In a letter written to a parliamentary counsel and the editor of the official Gazette, purported Russian Alexander Mavrodi, once again, is claiming ownership of the Alfa Nero, the super yacht that was sold yesterday, June 16, by the Browne Administration through the Port Authority.
The correspondence, circulated today, Friday, accuses the Antigua and Barbuda Government of compiling “facts and conjectures in public space” and providing “false, perlustrated information” about the vessel.
Mavrodi also charges that the Administration “withholds important knowledge from rightful recipients, and ignores legitimate statements.”
The writer goes further and accuses this country of ignoring the law, in general, and using “its sovereign institutions for the dubious purposes of privatizing property for profit of [an] unknown circle.”
Noting that the Antigua and Barbuda Government has failed to acknowledge his claim and to proceed with the auction by following certain protocols – including “vesting all possible claims in the future on the owner, but not the sovereignty of Antigua and Barbuda” – Mavrodi alleges that the Administration has involved itself in fraud.
Interestingly, he notes that this country is “liable for its actions” and will be “treated as a creditor to [the] legal owner whether the vessel [is] sold or destroyed….”
He also implies that the Government’s actions have placed its ship registry in question, and says the country is “[serving] as a lagoon for dubious vessels in [the] contaminated legal environment of the Caribbean.”
And, he claims further, the “Bermuda aircraft registry was destroyed [in] the same way in 2023.” The letter states, as well, that the Government – rather than hold the sale proceeds in trust – has “decided to pursue money but not sovereignty and law.”
Mavrodi, who claims a Russian address, is not known to REAL News; however, inquiries about his identity have led to the speculation that he has been a regular guest at an exclusive resort, here, for several years.
He first came to the notice of our Newsroom when, on March 17, he emailed the United Progressive Party Secretariat, supporting the Party’s cautions about the acquisition of the vessel, which, at the time, was said to be owned by Russian oligarch Andrey Guryev.
In the email, Mavrodi definitively claimed ownership and said he was interested in re-instituting “proper insurance of the vessel and its crew.”
Guryev has since denied ownership of the yacht, and two other entities recently filed court papers claiming the vessel and some of its fittings, specifically works of art.

Hmmmn…. Be careful now. If the owner is not this man, just know that the owner of his yatch will turn up one day, and the implications wont be pretty. We are playing with danger! Enough said.
