US Judge Grants Stay on Subpoenas in Alfa Nero Case

Ok ANR I know ALP is the owner of this online newspaper, the court put the subpoena in abeyance while they challenge personal documents in court.

It appears that this vessel was hidden in English harbour to avoid being seized by the United States. It was abandoned and in order to safeguard this multimillion dollar asset and avoid environmental damage to Antigua/Barbuda’s seas the Goverment stepped in and incurred significant costs in so doing.
After the sanctions were lifted, the oligarchs stepped back into the picture to claim the vessel. White humans don’t play where their wealth is concerned. They will stop at nothing to keep their wealth. That’s why President Trump will side with President Putin against his own people in the United States despite being elected by them. These humans are oligarchs and will stop at nothing to preserve their “wealth”. Our PM knew that and besides that it was unfair for our country to preserve this multimillion dollar asset, incur all this costs and receive not a penny in return. Oligarchs don’t play where their money is concerned. But according to the elders “head make book” not the other way around.
And so we are where we are. I do not support the Gaston Browne administration because I worked with him for years. His natural intelligence, his struggles as a child with a mentally in mother having to literally support himself, relying on the Bank to provide him a scholarship to further his studies and emerging with his degree in banking and finance, taking over the leadership of the party. His heroe is the father of the Nation and when he took over the leadership of the party, he United the party instead of dividing it. I can go on and on. Let us support our leader and country in the fight against might is right.

The UPP people based on the calls I have been privy to are now sad. There they were hoping that this would be the downfall of the government. Why be so bad minded? I just pray (in vain) that this experience will be a wake up call for their supporters and in the future they will strive to be positive and help us work on nation building

UPP was very silent over the past months. Now They jump on the ALFA NERO case expect to gain POLITICAL MILAGE but now all backfiring on UPP. UPP never discussed any issue in Parliament. They have Their Parliament on radio. What a bunch of FOOLS.

Hon.Gaston Browne I shall forward recordings to you with the following persons DEFAMMING you and Family. I do hope you SUE the following persons.

PRINGLE , SERPENT , SHUGY , ISAAC ,RICHARD , Alison B ( ZDK ) , JUICY JOAN ( PROGRESSIVE RADIO ) and others.

Come on. Simple. You used an advantage to grab something that was not yours. In the process certain Antiguans were enriched with ridiculous payments for “upkeep” and hopefully the US court will ferret out the rest of the theft. I am sure the Antiguan courts will not.

It all comes out in the wash and unfortunately the poor people, the rank and file will suffer while the politicos will run with their money.

Trump will get you.

I am sure you don’t “mean” to be racist but I’m tired of this being trotted out. “White humans” are jealous of their wealth. Maybe because they sweated to get it? Is that any different than you?

I am not Russian but taking advantage of anyone is low. How low do you want to go? And will you cry when the world order flips and they make your life (more) miserable?

@tenman

This thing is far from over you joker. It’s not about hate, it’s about disclosure and transparency, and this administration has failed to live up to that with the Antiguan public.

In two years, this Government has been involved in so many mischief, that the public can’t even keep up.
And you sit there and blame the opposition for that?

This is not a dictatorship joker,we live in a democracy, one that was put in place so that all can be partakers of the resources of their land, not just the few.

So sit there and think that this is some great victory for your ALP, because this thing is far from over.

You keep forgetting who yacht this man Gatson go and mess with. It’s going to be motion after motion filed until this Russain drain Antigua’s assets.
You really think this man went this far without a plan b,c,d or the entire alphabet for that matter?

It seems you are as gullible as they get!

The wood worms are finally emerging and spewing garbage. The issue here isn’t whether the vessel should have been sold but how much it was eventually sold for. You lackeys have been given your scripts after the TEN MILLION U.S DOLLAR MAN was unable to convince the populace into believing his lies. We are going to learn about more than the Alfa Nero and that’s what’s creating fear in the camp.

@sharon patriot lynch: please don’t let the world know that you are not tech savvy, even your cell phone has on a satellite beacon that shows every place you have been, check your phone and it will show you all the places you travel daily, even a common generator now has gps location security that if you buy it for your property and set it up and move it to another property you have it won’t start which is a guard against theft, now the alpha Nero has many satellites transponder and devises that always functioning by satellite beacon navigation and you say it was hidden? It’s not the old wooden fishing boat you see our fishermen oaring out to sea. Don’t make our people look semi illiterate. That alpha Nero can’t move unless satellite show the water depths and wind speed weather etc, and it get it’s daily satellite correspondence, why do you think the American know it’ was in Antigua? They saw all the ships in the world on satellite with their frequency signature.

When everything is over, just sue who you have to sue,so others can learn….

Small victories. A precursor to the BIG victory that looms

Regardless of legality, the public deserves to know what’s going on with the Alfa Nero. Too many unanswered questions, too many high-level names involved.

Im curious to know what these questions are?

This move is definitely more than just a legal strategy; it feels like a calculated political decision. Gaston Browne and his legal team clearly know how to play the game when it comes to timing and public perception. By getting the stay so quickly, they’re showing control and strength both domestically and internationally. But we can’t ignore the fact that while this might be a win in terms of procedure, it raises bigger questions about transparency and accountability. In situations like this, legal victories are one thing, but keeping the public’s trust is another and that’s something that can easily slip away if not handled carefully.

Folks, normal procedure, an interim “stay” is nearly always granted until the court decide such application, since you can not let people unsee or un-copy releases files, which is highly likely to result in irreparable harms to the party (ABLP, PM Browne, PM Browne’s family, and other defendants).

This is not considered a win but simply procedural law taking place. The defendants could start celebrating when the judge vacate the order granting the subpoena. Here, the judge said it needs time to decide this and for that reason is putting a stop “stay” for now.

Do I think the plaintiff, Russian, is likely to win? Or do I think PM Browne is likely to win? Keep watching for more from my way of helping

@my way… whatever legal training you received go and try get back your money. Your ranting reminds me of your notion that you are entitled to a gun license and since you can’t get your way, you turn on the party you claim you support. Clearly you were never a supporter but what persons would call A spoilt brat. No thinking judge would allow what is essedntually a fishing expedition. Strangely either you missed that class or wilfully ignore its lessons

It’s a “stay” not a “reprieve.”
@My way of helping, you are 100% correct. Allowing the subpoenas to take effect, prior to the defendants motions to quash the subpoenas could prejudice the defendants when the case goes trial. Quashing a subpoena regarding’discovery, does not stop the defendants from been sued.
The subpoenas were granted based on upon the evidence’s provided to the Court by the Russians legal team. There had to have been enough reasons for the subpoenas to have been issued. Similarly a Judge will issue a search warrant in a criminal investigation, if the investigators show, probable cause(fingerprint, DNA, electronic tracking to social media posts, eyewitness testimony etc.).
All of the transactions from the very first auction, Schmitt’s withdrawal after he won the first bid, then the dispute between the second highest bidder and the Government were all thoroughly monitored by the Russians.
This is far from over. Less We Forget too, Alfa Nero cases are still ongoing in the Caribbean and could end up at the Privy Council.
