    Prime Minister Gaston Browne has announced plans to present detailed documentation related to the Alfa Nero controversy during a two-hour televised special on ABS this Thursday evening, followed by a full debate in Parliament on Friday.

    Speaking on his weekly _Browne and Browne_ radio programme on Pointe FM, the Prime Minister said he will be joined by the Financial Secretary, Accountant General, and Port Manager to provide a comprehensive account of the events surrounding the sale of the superyacht, which has been the subject of ongoing public scrutiny and political debate.

    “We will be presenting all the documentation once more,” Mr Browne stated, indicating that the ABS programme will serve as a platform for transparency and public accountability. He added that all financial agreements and supporting records will be made available to the public.

    The Prime Minister also confirmed that the matter will be ventilated in Parliament the following day to ensure that “future generations know what the facts are.” He said the government will table documentation from both the Alfa Nero and Odebrecht matters, in an effort to counter what he described as misinformation and politically motivated attacks.

    The Alfa Nero yacht, seized in Falmouth Harbour in 2022 under the authority of the Antigua and Barbuda government, has been at the centre of a legal and diplomatic dispute involving foreign claimants and allegations of impropriety.

    Mr Browne maintains that the actions taken by his administration were lawful and in the interest of the state. He accused members of the opposition of collaborating with foreign actors to damage the country’s reputation, describing some of the claims being circulated as “treasonous.”

    The ABS broadcast is expected to begin at 7:30 p.m. or shortly after the evening news, though the exact time is to be confirmed by the state broadcaster.
