In Case No. ANUHCV2025/0149, the Government of Antigua & Barbuda and Ambassador-at-Large Alkiviades A. David secured what began as a $10 billion default judgment, now expanded into the hundreds of billions subsequent to the addition of 65 new defendants across multiple jurisdictions.

The expanded claim encapsulates decades of damages linked to defamation, fraud, racketeering, and economic sabotage, traced to a transnational media and financial cartel—including interests behind Paramount Global, Disney/Fox, Comcast/NBCUniversal and related entities. This case represents one of the largest civil and sovereign reparations cases in modern judicial history.

Justice René Williams has acknowledged Antigua’s constitutional sovereignty and right to fair recourse, igniting a broader movement among Small Island Developing States (SIDS) seeking reparations from systemic exploitation by corporate powers. Antigua’s stand serves as a beacon of judicial independence and moral courage in the Commonwealth.

These filings are not mere legal documents—they symbolize how a small island nation can confront a vast cartel and initiate a movement towards global accountability. The Antigua judgment now anchors a multi-jurisdictional legal framework, with appeals already in process in the United Kingdom and proceedings advancing in United States Federal District Courts.

From St. John’s to London and Washington

Collectively, these proceedings usher in a new era of reparative justice—coordinated legal actions that span from the Caribbean to global capitals. What commenced as a solitary island’s pursuit of truth and sovereignty has transformed into a worldwide legal reckoning, revealing a century of systemic abuse by the global media cartel and introducing the first planetary confrontation between sovereign nations and monopolies.
