Formal Summary of Government\u2019s Position<br \/>\nThe Government of Antigua and Barbuda (GoAB) emphasizes that the seizure and sale<br \/>\nof the Superyacht Alfa Nero were conducted lawfully, transparently, and with full<br \/>\ninternational cooperation. The GoAB firmly maintains that the lawsuit filed in the United<br \/>\nStates by Ms. Yulia Guryeva-Motlokhov \u2013 regarding the Alfa Nero \u2013 is baseless,<br \/>\nmalicious, and an abuse of legal process. This legal action is viewed as a \u201cfishing<br \/>\nexpedition\u201d aimed not at genuine discovery but at harassing senior Antiguan officials<br \/>\nand tarnishing the country\u2019s reputation.<br \/>\nEvery step in handling the Alfa Nero was above-board, done in accordance with<br \/>\nAntiguan law and with approval from the U.S. Treasury\u2019s Office of Foreign Assets Control<br \/>\n(OFAC). Importantly, the sale of the Alfa Nero was carried out under an official OFAC<br \/>\nlicense after the yacht was removed from the U.S. sanctions list. It was sold in July 2024<br \/>\nto a vetted buyer for US $40 million, and all proceeds were transparently accounted for<br \/>\nand used for public purposes. There is no evidence whatsoever of any \u201cmissing\u201d money<br \/>\nor corrupt payments \u2013 claims to the contrary are entirely unfounded. The Government<br \/>\nhas published detailed financial records of the sale and expenditures, which refute any<br \/>\nsuggestion of impropriety.<br \/>\nMs. Guryeva-Motlokhov \u2013 the daughter of a sanctioned Russian oligarch, Andrey Guryev<br \/>\n\u2013 has no legal ownership stake in the Alfa Nero, yet she has pursued multiple court<br \/>\nactions after the sale did not go in her favour. The GoAB views her U.S. lawsuit as a<br \/>\nvindictive attempt to intimidate and extort the Government of Antigua and Barbuda.<br \/>\nHaving failed in Antigua\u2019s courts to halt or reverse the yacht\u2019s sale, she is now trying to<br \/>\nuse U.S. courts to cast aspersions on Prime Minister Gaston Browne and others, hoping<br \/>\nto compel a huge monetary settlement. Her allegations of corruption are<br \/>\nunsubstantiated hearsay and have been categorically denied and disproven by the<br \/>\nfacts.<br \/>\nThe Government of Antigua and Barbuda remains committed to full transparency in<br \/>\nAntigua and Barbuda and globally and also to cooperation with international partners.<br \/>\nWe have kept U.S. authorities informed at every stage and even formally requested that<br \/>\nU.S. Treasury\/OFAC confirm our full compliance with all sanctions\u2019requirements. Any<br \/>\nobjective review of the evidence will vindicate Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s actions and<br \/>\nexpose the lawsuit\u2019s claims as false. We will continue to engage constructively with the<br \/>\nUnited States and all relevant parties to ensure the truth is recognized and to protect<br \/>\nAntigua and Barbuda\u2019s good name.<\/p>\n<p>2<\/p>\n<p>2. Explanation of Engaging U.S. Counsel<br \/>\nEven though the Government of Antigua and Barbuda (GoAB) and its officials are not<br \/>\nformal defendants in the U.S. court action, they have engaged attorneys in the United<br \/>\nStates as a protective and proactive measure. This step is crucial to safeguarding the<br \/>\ncountry\u2019s reputation in the face of the calumnies and slanderous claims that have been<br \/>\nsubmitted to the U.S. Court.<br \/>\nIn these proceedings, the claimant has sought subpoenas targeting financial records of<br \/>\nthe Prime Minister and other Antiguan officials, held by third-party U.S. institutions,<br \/>\nnamely the Federal Bank of New York and the Clearing House Company. Such discovery<br \/>\nrequests may cast unwarranted suspicion on Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s institutions, risking<br \/>\nreputational harm and affecting the country\u2019s ability use the banking system to send<br \/>\nand receive money internationally. By retaining counsel, the Government can directly<br \/>\ncontest the misrepresentations and protect its institutions and their officials from false<br \/>\nor misleading allegations.<br \/>\nAlthough the Government and its officials are not named as defendants, being<br \/>\nidentified in a discovery filing can still damage a nation\u2019s credibility and undermine<br \/>\npublic confidence, especially when accusations of wrongdoing are spread widely in<br \/>\nmedia and political discourse. By proactively engaging U.S. legal experts, Antigua and<br \/>\nBarbuda ensures its voice is heard in the proceeding. If necessary, counsel can move to<br \/>\nquash or limit subpoenas that lack valid legal basis or that aim to propagate slanderous<br \/>\nstatements rather than obtain legitimate evidence.<br \/>\nTaken together, this engagement of U.S. counsel underscores Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s<br \/>\ndetermination to defend its good name, protect its officials from unfounded allegations,<br \/>\nand affirm the Government\u2019s lawful conduct in the Alfa Nero matter. It also signals<br \/>\nrespect for the U.S. judicial process while ensuring that no one-sided narrative goes<br \/>\nunchallenged.<\/p>\n<p>3. Summarized Legal Context<br \/>\nEngaging U.S. attorneys is a normal and prudent step when foreign governments or<br \/>\nindividuals are identified in American legal proceedings- even if they are not direct<br \/>\ndefendants. Under U.S. law, someone involved in a foreign dispute can request<br \/>\ndiscovery from U.S.-based institutions, which may inadvertently pull in parties who had<br \/>\nno direct role in the lawsuit itself.<br \/>\nBy retaining U.S., those impacted parties\u2014including the Government of Antigua and<br \/>\nBarbuda\u2014ensure they can promptly respond to any broad or intrusive requests, assert<br \/>\ntheir rights, and challenge speculative or unjustified subpoenas.<br \/>\nSimply put, having U.S. legal representation prevents unfair outcomes, and ensures that<br \/>\nany misrepresentations can be swiftly corrected before a U.S. judge. This is not an<\/p>\n<p>3<br \/>\nadmission of wrongdoing; it is a standard legal safeguard to preserve due process,<br \/>\nprotect the nation\u2019s reputation, and uphold the integrity of its officials.<\/p>\n<p>4. Impact of Opposition Allegations and harm to the Nation<br \/>\nWhile the Government is prepared to refute all baseless allegations regarding the Alfa<br \/>\nNero, it is important to note that certain elements of the Opposition are repeating these<br \/>\nclaims for political gain. Unfortunately, these actions harm the nation\u2019s reputation and<br \/>\ncan negatively impact the economy, the banking system and job.<br \/>\nThe following points are crucial:<br \/>\n\u2022 International Perception and Investment:<br \/>\nPublicly echoing false and unproved claims of corruption risks discouraging<br \/>\nforeign investors, international lenders, and partners who are key to Antigua and<br \/>\nBarbuda\u2019s growth and stability.<br \/>\n\u2022 Financial Services and Banking Sector:<br \/>\nAllegations of impropriety may erode confidence in local financial institutions,<br \/>\nadversely impacting banking relationships, increasing compliance burdens to<br \/>\nthe banks and raising costs to clients, and potentially driving away investment<br \/>\nthat sustain jobs.<br \/>\n\u2022 Tourism and the Wider Economy:<br \/>\nNegative headlines tying Antigua and Barbuda to alleged corruption can weaken<br \/>\nthe country\u2019s appeal to tourists and luxury yacht patrons. Tourism and related<br \/>\nservices are economic mainstays that support thousands of families.<br \/>\n\u2022 Employment and Livelihoods:<br \/>\nAs economic opportunities shrink, job creation is threatened. Hotel staff, port<br \/>\nworkers, tourism vendors, and many others may feel the impact of reduced<br \/>\neconomic activity linked to damaged international credibility.<br \/>\nThe Government urges all parties to act in the nation\u2019s best interests by grounding<br \/>\npublic discourse in facts and evidence rather than unverified allegations. By<br \/>\nperpetuating these unfounded claims, the Opposition is not only undermining the<\/p>\n<p>reputation of Antigua and Barbuda but also serving the purposes of Ms. Guryeva-<br \/>\nMotlokhov and risking harm to the livelihoods of everyday citizens and the broader<\/p>\n<p>economy. Seeking political mileage should not come at the expense of patriotism and<br \/>\nthe country\u2019s hard-won economic development and international standing.<\/p>\n<p>4<\/p>\n<p>5. Key Talking Points for Public Outreach<br \/>\nLawful Seizure of Alfa Nero and International Approval<br \/>\n\u2022 The Alfa Nero was lawfully seized by Antigua and Barbuda authorities after being<br \/>\neffectively abandoned by its sanctioned owner, posing a grave hazard to the harbour in<br \/>\nwhich is was moored and threatening jobs and revenue from the Yachting industry.<br \/>\n\u2022 This was done in close consultation with the United States \u2013 the yacht was removed<br \/>\nfrom the U.S. sanctions list so it could be disposed of legally under an OFAC license.<br \/>\nTransparent Sale Process<br \/>\n\u2022 The yacht was sold in July 2024 for US $40 million in a private sale, fully transparent<br \/>\nand cleared by U.S. authorities. (See: Attachment 1: Notarised Bill of Sale)<br \/>\n\u2022 The buyer was thoroughly vetted for any criminal or sanctions concerns, and OFAC<br \/>\nwas informed of the buyer\u2019s identity with no objections.<br \/>\nAll Proceeds Accounted For<br \/>\n\u2022 Every dollar from the yacht\u2019s sale is accounted for. The net amount received by the<br \/>\nGovernment was US $38.2 million, after the broker\u2019s commission.(See: Attachment 2:<br \/>\nBroker Agreement)<br \/>\n\u2022 Those funds were deposited into the Government\u2019s account at the Eastern Caribbean<br \/>\nCentral Bank and allocated for public purposes, including Alfa Nero\u2013related expenses<br \/>\nand reducing government debt. (See: Attachment 3. Finance Ministry Accounting)<br \/>\nNo Evidence of Corruption<br \/>\n\u2022 Allegations that Prime Minister Browne or any other persons secretly profited are<br \/>\ncompletely false and unsupported.<br \/>\n\u2022 No credible evidence backs up these accusations, which come primarily from an<br \/>\ninvestigator who was hired and paid by Ms. Guryeva-Motlokhov to produce a report<br \/>\nciting unnamed sources. The report does not stand up to standards of evidence in any<br \/>\nCourt.<br \/>\n\u2022 The Government has published all financial documents showing the transaction\u2019s<br \/>\ntransparency.<br \/>\nClaimant\u2019s Lack of Rights &amp; Motives<br \/>\n\u2022 Yulia Guryeva-Motlokhov has no legal claim to the yacht. She was, at best, a<br \/>\ndiscretionary beneficiary of a Trust associated with her sanctioned father\u2019s assets. The<br \/>\ndiscretionary beneficiary of a Trust does not own the Trust\u2019s assets.<br \/>\n\u2022 She failed to block the sale in Antigua\u2019s courts and is now attempting to use U.S. court<br \/>\nactions to harass Antigua\u2019s officials and create suspicion, hoping for a payoff.<\/p>\n<p>5<\/p>\n<p>Contesting Baseless U.S. Legal Manoeuvres<br \/>\n\u2022 The New York action is not a direct lawsuit against the Government; it is a fishing<br \/>\nexpedition seeking bank records in the desperate hope to find something to support<br \/>\nunfounded allegations.<br \/>\n\u2022 Similar subpoenas were filed in Florida against the brokerage firm involved in the sale.<br \/>\nSignificantly, the Florida lawsuit against the Brokerage company has not been pursued.<br \/>\nThe company, Northrop &amp; Johnson Yachts-Ships LLC, is internationally known and<br \/>\nrespected with offices in the US, France, the UK and elsewhere.<br \/>\nPublic Interest First<br \/>\n\u2022 The Government\u2019s primary concern was protecting the public interest, especially given<br \/>\nthe high costs of maintaining the Alfa Nero yacht and potential disastrous risks if it<br \/>\nremained in port.<br \/>\n\u2022 Selling the yacht quickly and lawfully converted a stranded asset into a public benefit<br \/>\nand safeguarded the economy from potential harm.<br \/>\nOngoing Transparency &amp; Cooperation<br \/>\n\u2022 The Government has nothing to hide. It has shared information proactively with the<br \/>\nU.S. authorities and published the pertinent documents.<br \/>\n\u2022 A government memorandum to the U.S. Treasury details every fact of the Alfa Nero<br \/>\nmatter, inviting further review.<br \/>\nSanctions Implications<br \/>\n\u2022 If Ms. Guryeva-Motlokhov regained control over the yacht\u2019s value, it could potentially<br \/>\nbenefit her sanctioned father.<br \/>\n\u2022 She may be attempting to channel sanctioned assets, which undermines international<br \/>\nsanctions.<\/p>\n<p>6<\/p>\n<p>Questions &amp; Answers (Q&amp;A)<br \/>\nQ: Has the Prime Minister or Government of Antigua and Barbuda been sued?<br \/>\nA: No. Neither the Prime Minister nor the Government itself is a defendant in the U.S.<br \/>\nlawsuit. The filing in New York is a request for discovery from U.S. financial institutions,<br \/>\nnot a lawsuit for damages or wrongdoing by our Government.<br \/>\nQ: What is the Government\u2019s response to corruption allegations?<br \/>\nA: The Government and the Prime Minister categorically deny them. No credible<br \/>\nevidence has ever been presented, and we have published all relevant financial<br \/>\nrecords. These allegations rely on hearsay from a private investigator who was hired and<br \/>\npaid by Yulia Guryeva-Motlokhov to produce a baseless report which has no<br \/>\ncorroborating sources and cannot withstand scrutiny.<br \/>\nQ: Where did the money from the Alfa Nero sale go?<br \/>\nA: The entire US $40 million was paid by a fully vetted buyer. The broker\u2019s commission<br \/>\nwas 4.5%, leaving US $38.2 million. These funds were placed in the Government\u2019s<br \/>\naccount, used to cover Alfa Nero expenses (which the Government had already borne),<br \/>\nand then applied to public debts. Every disbursement is documented.<br \/>\nQ: Who is the claimant, and what is her motive?<br \/>\nA: The claimant, Yulia Guryeva-Motlokhov, is the daughter of Russian oligarch Andrey<br \/>\nGuryev, who is under U.S. sanction, as well as sanctions from the UK and the EU. She<br \/>\nwas never an owner of the yacht but claims entitlement through a Trust linked to her<br \/>\nfather\u2019s assets. She appears to be using U.S. courts to harass Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s<br \/>\nofficials and extort money.<br \/>\nQ: Why was the yacht sold for $40 million instead of the $60 million previously<br \/>\nmentioned at auction?<br \/>\nA: The auction with the higher bid fell through once the claimant launched legal action,<br \/>\nscaring off potential bidders. Under mounting costs and hurricane risks, the<br \/>\nGovernment accepted the best available offer of $40 million in a private sale, which was<br \/>\nvetted and approved.<br \/>\nQ: If Government and its officials are not named in the lawsuit, why engage U.S.<br \/>\nLawyers?<br \/>\nA: Engaging Counsel is Standard Procedure: Retaining lawyers in the United States is a<br \/>\nstandard precaution when our Government\u2019s name is drawn into a U.S. legal matter. We<br \/>\nhave a duty to defend Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s interests in any court, anywhere. This<br \/>\nproactive step is about protecting our country\u2019s good name, not about hiding anything.<br \/>\nNot a Sign of Wrongdoing \u2013 A Sign of Determination: Hiring U.S. attorneys does not<br \/>\nindicate that government officials have done anything wrong. In fact, it\u2019s because the<\/p>\n<p>7<br \/>\nallegations are baseless that Government and others must fight them strongly, so that<br \/>\nmisinformation does not go unchallenged.<br \/>\nProtecting National Reputation and Transparency: Our government is completely<br \/>\nconfident in the legality and transparency of the Alfa Nero sale and how the funds were<br \/>\nhandled. We have nothing to hide. By appearing in the U.S. court, our counsel can<br \/>\npresent the evidence and facts that confirm everything was above board<\/p>\n<p>6. Sample Quotes for Speeches and Media statements<br \/>\n\u2022 \u201cEvery penny from the Alfa Nero sale is accounted for and used for the public<br \/>\ngood \u2013 not a cent is missing or misused.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 \u201cAntigua and Barbuda acted by the book in the Alfa Nero matter \u2013 with U.S.<br \/>\napproval at every step. No flashy lawsuit can rewrite those facts.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 \u201cThis baseless lawsuit is nothing more than the sanctioned oligarch\u2019s family<br \/>\ntrying to bully Antigua and Barbuda with false claims. We will not be intimidated.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 \u201cLet\u2019s be clear: these allegations of secret pay-offs are pure fiction. The records<br \/>\nare open, and the facts speak for themselves.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 \u201cWe couldn\u2019t let a derelict superyacht threaten our harbour, our economy and<br \/>\nthe jobs of our people. We took responsible action \u2013 and we did so transparently<br \/>\nand lawfully.\u201d<br \/>\nis a desperate attempt at extortion, plain and simple. Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s<br \/>\nGovernment will stand up against such blatant extortion.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 \u201cThe daughter of a sanctioned oligarch is upset she couldn\u2019t reclaim his yacht,<br \/>\nso now she\u2019s slandering our officials. It\u2019s outrageous and we will resist it\u201d.<br \/>\n\u2022 \u201cWe refuse to let false or slanderous claims go unchallenged\u2014engaging U.S.<br \/>\nattorneys is simply the best way to defend our nation\u2019s reputation in the U.S.<br \/>\ncourts.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 \u201cAlthough we aren\u2019t the ones being sued, our name is being dragged into the<br \/>\nproceedings. By hiring counsel, we protect Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s image and<br \/>\nensure no baseless allegations stand.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 \u201cWe have a duty to our citizens to uphold the country\u2019s good name. If someone<br \/>\nlodges damaging claims in a U.S. court, we will not sit by; we will respond<br \/>\nvigorously, through legal representation.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 Retaining American lawyers isn\u2019t about admitting fault\u2014it\u2019s about making sure<br \/>\nthe truth is heard, and that Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s interests are safeguarded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>8<br \/>\n\u2022 \u201cWhen accusations are levelled in any jurisdiction, we confront them head-on.<br \/>\nThat\u2019s why we have engaged U.S. counsel, to ensure a fair hearing and to counter<br \/>\nany unfounded allegations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>7. Sample public responses to the Opposition Party<br \/>\n\u201cPolitical point-scoring shouldn\u2019t cost us our nation\u2019s reputation. These baseless<br \/>\nallegations only serve to scare off investors and harm our people\u2019s livelihoods.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWhen the Opposition spreads rumours of corruption, it isn\u2019t just the Government that<br \/>\nis a victim \u2014every hotel worker, every bank teller, and every dock worker in Antigua and<br \/>\nBarbuda feels the impact, from the undermining of the nation.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cInternational partners and investors want stability and truth. The Opposition\u2019s<\/p>\n<p>repetition of unproven accusations jeopardize jobs, our financial sector, and the well-<br \/>\nbeing of the very people they claim to represent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis Government welcomes political debate, but malicious rumours that undermine<br \/>\nAntigua and Barbuda\u2019s credibility end up punishing the innocent &#8211; families, businesses,<br \/>\nand workers across our islands.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOur economic growth depends on global confidence.
