British Businessman Alki David Files Major Legal Challenge Against Daily Mail for Alleged Misconduct
In a significant legal move, Alkiviades "Alki" David accuses Daily Mail executives and journalist Rory Tingle of a coordinated campaign against him, highlighting severe allegations including CSAM links and wrongful arrest.
London, August 13, 2025 – British entrepreneur and public interest advocate Alkiviades “Alki” David has initiated a landmark legal filing in the King’s Bench Division of the High Court, targeting executives of the Daily Mail, associated corporate entities, and journalist Rory Tingle. He alleges their involvement in a collaborative effort to suppress information and retaliate against him, detailed in a comprehensive 100+ page submission filed under Claim No: KB-2025-001991 before Justice Cotter.
The filing presents an extensive array of evidence linking corporate practices of the Daily Mail to platforms accused of disseminating Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). It includes a documented timeline of a retaliatory false arrest, footage from CCTV that disputes Tingle's claims against David, and a narrative of favoritism towards David’s legal opponents while strategically omitting critical developments in ongoing litigation.
Key Highlights of the Filing
Corporate Links to CSAM Distribution
The court document meticulously outlines connections starting from MailOnline (Daily Mail) to their associated ventures including DailyMailTV and CBS Media Ventures in the U.S., which has been repeatedly named in testimonies as a conduit for CSAM distribution. According to the filing, this corporate structure poses discernible risks bridging legitimate media content and poorly regulated platforms.
Retaliation Through False Arrest
David's contention stems from an incident on August 4, 2025, where he was arrested following a questionable account from Tingle. Contradictory CCTV evidence shows David was actually pushed rather than engaged in any form of physical confrontation. The arrest, coinciding with David’s exposé on corporate misconduct outside the Mirror Group, raises serious concerns about retaliatory actions aimed at stifling his advocacy.
Interference with Ambassadorial Duties
Serving as a publicly issued ambassador for the green initiatives of Antigua and Barbuda, David contends that the wrongful arrest obstructs his capacity to perform duties entrusted by Prime Minister Gaston Browne, categorizing the act as aggravated obstruction of justice in a broader, international context.
Media Bias and Narrative Control
The Daily Mail's extensive reporting on David’s previous sexual assault case verdict starkly contrasts their silence regarding the recent freezing of that judgment. Instead, they have reportedly continued to publish supportive stories about adversaries while ignoring developments unfavorable to their narratives. Included in the exhibit are screenshots evidencing these discrepancies.
Support from Independent Media
A viral report highlighting the alleged misconduct and false arrest has further corroborated David's claims and has intensified public discussion regarding corporate accountability in media practices.
Legal Actions Requested
Through this submission, David seeks:
Judicial recognition of the evidence accumulated regarding misconduct.
Criminal investigation into Rory Tingle for perjury and complicity in obstructing justice.
Acknowledgment of the violations against the protections afforded to his international ambassadorial role.
Included in the submitted materials are exhibits documenting the alleged corporate connections, arrest details, media content screenshots, and examples of the biased media coverage against David.
Alki David's Statement
“This is a critical moment that goes beyond my personal experience; it’s about revealing the systems that utilize media power and corporate cooperation to silence whistleblowers. It is crucial for the public to be made aware of the intertwined interests behind mainstream media and those platforms tied to child exploitation.”
Public Access
For transparency and public awareness, the comprehensive court exhibits have been made accessible to Justice Cotter and will be hosted publicly. This marks an important phase in David’s ongoing battle against what he views as entrenched corporate malfeasance.
