London, August 13, 2025 – British entrepreneur and public interest litigator Alkiviades “Alki” David has formally submitted a substantial legal claim to the King’s Bench Division of the High Court. In his filing, he accuses the Daily Mail, its corporate affiliates, and journalist Rory Tingle of orchestrating a concerted effort to retaliate against him, suppress information, and manipulate public narratives.
The exhaustive 100+ page document, submitted in Claim No: KB-2025-001991 under the guidance of Justice Cotter, encapsulates years of investigative research and multiple threads of evidence. Among these are corporate connections to platforms associated with the distribution of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), a wrongful arrest incident captured on CCTV, and the strategic amplification of opposing legal narratives while omitting vital information that could alter public perception in high-profile litigation.
**Key Points of the Allegations**
**Corporate Linkages to CSAM Distribution:** David's claim outlines a corporate trajectory from the Daily Mail’s online platform, MailOnline, through DailyMailTV, and into CBS Media Ventures, which has been identified in whistleblower testimonies as a key player in the distribution of CSAM. The documentation suggests that the intertwined corporate structures create a conducive environment for the monetization of legitimate media alongside nefarious content.
**Details of the False Arrest:** On August 4, 2025, David's arrest occurred just outside the Daily Mail Group's headquarters, following an accusation from Rory Tingle regarding minor physical contact. However, CCTV footage from the Metropolitan Police contradicts Tingle’s assertion, showing David being forcibly pushed by security personnel. David was released the next day with little consequence. His legal submission portrays this incident as indicative of retaliatory targeting following his damning exposé on corporate misconduct.
**Violation of Ambassadorial Protections:** Serving as an ambassador for Antigua and Barbuda’s green economy, a role endorsed by Prime Minister Gaston Browne, David contends that the wrongful arrest represents substantial interference with an ambassador's duties and reflects an obstruction of justice on a global scale.
**Media Bias and Suppression:** Despite its extensive coverage of David’s previous legal troubles, the Daily Mail is accused of a conspicuous silence regarding subsequent important court rulings, such as the freezing of a $900 million judgment against him while simultaneously promoting favorable stories about his legal opponents, thereby undermining the integrity of the public sphere.
**Supportive Media Validation:** The exhibit includes references to a viral article from Shockya, published on August 10, 2025, that backs David’s claims of false arrest, linking the incident to broader corporate practices concerning CSAM monetization.
**Judicial Relief Requested:** David’s High Court filing requests the following actions:
- Recognition of the totality of evidence reflecting a coordinated campaign by the defendants.
- Referral for criminal investigation for Tingle, seeking accountability for purported perjury and related offenses.
- Classification of the wrongful arrest as international obstruction of justice.
**Exhibits Attached:** The court filing includes several key exhibits that substantiate David’s allegations, including charts of corporate linkages, timelines of the arrest, and samples of media coverage.
In a statement, Alkiviades David remarked, “This is not merely about my situation—it focuses on uncovering the systems that exploit the media, courts, and corporate connections to silence individuals who dare to challenge wrongdoing. It is essential for the public to understand these intricate ties between mainstream media and platforms involved in child exploitation and the misuse of justice against those who expose the truth."
The comprehensive exhibits filed have been made accessible to Justice Cotter, and a public copy will be shared to ensure transparency, marking a significant advancement in David’s legal endeavors against what he terms a "modern-day, corporate-protected criminal syndicate."
