Alfa Nero\u00a0 Photo:Wikipedia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s Ambassador to the United States of America, Sir Ronald Sanders, announced today that the Government of Antigua and Barbuda has been successful in its discussions with the Government of the United States of America, concerning its application for a license to proceed with the unfettered sale of the Super Yacht,\u00a0Alfa Nero.<\/em><\/p>\n

This authorization was announced in the\u00a0Parliament\u00a0of Antigua and Barbuda today by Prime Minister Gaston Browne, opening up the way for the Port Authority of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda to proceed with a sale of the\u00a0Alfa Nero\u00a0<\/em>by auction, to any persons who are not on a sanctioned list and who have applied for, and received, a license from the US Treasury to engage in financial transactions related to the vessel.<\/p>\n

It is understood that several interested bidders have already received individual licenses from the US Treasury Department.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Sanders said that, while the license permits the Government of Antigua and Barbuda to proceed with the auction and to sell the vessel, other matters, such as the formal delisting of the\u00a0Alfa Nero<\/em>, from the US Treasury\u2019s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) list, are still being pursued.<\/p>\n

The Ambassador remarked that \u201cthis entire process broke new ground; there were no rule books or patterns to follow.\u00a0 In this sense, much has been achieved by a small state\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Superyacht which has been moored in Antigua\u2019s Falmouth Habour for over a year was seized by the government recently.<\/p>\n

It belonged to a Russian oligarch who never claimed it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s Ambassador to the United States of America, Sir Ronald Sanders, announced today that the Government of Antigua and Barbuda has been successful in its discussions with the Government of the United States of America, concerning its application…","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":303131,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[77,235,9,14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-303130","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-homepage","category-homepage-carousel","category-news","category-regional"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAntigua and Barbuda secures license to auction Alfa Nero -
