ST. JOHN’S, ANTIGUA – APRIL 2, 2025 — A pivotal legal battle is unfolding in Antigua and Barbuda as Alki David, the CEO of SwissX and a renowned climate activist, initiated a private criminal case alleging that the Political Leader of the United Progressive Party (UPP), Jamale Pringle, has acted as a domestic agent in a transnational crime conspiracy. This legal motion reveals severe implications for the island’s sovereignty and economic integrity.
At the core of this turmoil is a staggering $900 million lawsuit filed in U.S. courts, purportedly intended to derail Antigua’s governance and tarnish its international reputation. This rogue lawsuit falsely implicated SwissX Island, a significant player in the green energy landscape, alongside high-ranking officials including Prime Minister Gaston Browne.
According to David’s claims, the legal effort was hatched by a coalition of notorious legal figures including David Boies and Gloria Allred, masterminded with ulterior motives to extinguish momentum for alternative energy projects in the region. “What they initiated was not litigation but an orchestrated attack and extortion, undermining innocent nations,” David asserted.
The court documents detail Pringle’s alleged complicity. The UPP leader is accused of providing intelligence to the attorneys involved, amplifying defamatory narratives publicly, and leveraging the chaos arising from the lawsuit for personal political advantage—effectively betraying his country.
Describing Pringle’s actions as “economic sabotage” and “treason,” David calls for immediate legal intervention, seeking arrest warrants for implicated parties, comprehensive disclosure of evidence, and protection for whistleblowers involved in the case.
The ramifications of this case extend beyond Antigua. A broader network of global corruption, encompassing figures in London, Athens, and Washington D.C., is implicated. Meanwhile, a devastating cycle of violence seems to envelop those aligned with whistleblowing efforts, with several legal associates of David found dead under suspicious circumstances.
The urgency for justice and the protection of national sovereignty has never been clearer. With this lawsuit serving as a litmus test for Antigua’s judicial integrity, David’s mission underscores a larger fight against global predators threatening the nation’s autonomy and environmental heritage. As this scandal unfolds, the world watches to see if Antigua's courts will rise to defend not just the nation but the vision of sustainable development represented by SwissX Island.
