“So, this isn’t just about a yacht anymore. It’s about how the world sees us. Because when subpoenas come from a U.S. federal judge, and when a firm like Boies Schiller is circling, Antigua’s name isn’t just in the news—it’s in courtrooms, in intelligence briefings, in quiet diplomatic talks,” MP Algernon Watts writes in Part I of a series for Antigua Observer.
“And if we don’t start answering questions ourselves, someone else will answer them for us. With consequences we may not be ready for. So let’s not pretend this is a one-day headline,” Watts says.
Only pressure will bring out the truth: “Interestingly, after months of us asking in Parliament, across the airwaves, on call-in shows the documents tied to the sale finally dropped. Not because they wanted to. Because they had to. Because subpoenas from a U.S. federal judge have a way of forcing hands.”
