British Businessman Accuses Daily Mail of Corporate Conspiracy and Retaliation
Alkiviades David files explosive lawsuit against Daily Mail executives, alleging connections to child exploitation and retaliatory actions against his whistleblowing efforts.
London, August 13, 2025 – In a significant legal move, British businessman and public interest advocate Alkiviades “Alki” David has filed an extensive complaint in the King’s Bench Division of the High Court. The accusation targets the Daily Mail Group, its corporate affiliates, and journalist Rory Tingle, stating that they have engaged in a systematic campaign of retaliation, suppression, and manipulation of narratives.
David's filing, as part of Claim No: KB-2025-001991 before Justice Cotter, encompasses over 100 pages of detailed evidence and analysis, alleging serious corporate misconduct linked to Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) dissemination. The filing highlights corporate connections extending from MailOnline to DailyMailTV—distributed in the U.S. via CBS Media Ventures—and further connects to CBS Interactive and Download.com, a platform noted in whistleblower reports as a conduit for CSAM activity. The submission warns of a "foreseeable risk" stemming from this corporate framework, which nestled legitimate media alongside high-risk platforms.
A pivotal element of the filing includes David's account of a false arrest incident on August 4, 2025. According to David, he was accused by Tingle of physical contact while documenting events outside the Mirror Group's headquarters. However, CCTV footage reportedly provides a contradictory narrative, showing that David was forcibly pushed by security personnel, leading to his release with only a caution after a day in custody.
Moreover, as a duly appointed ambassador for Antigua and Barbuda’s green economy, David's arrest is framed within the broader context of judicial and diplomatic misconduct. The filing suggests that the incident obstructed his governmental role—an assertion underscoring its gravity in an international law framework.
The document also raises concerns over media suppression, claiming that Daily Mail, after extensively covering an earlier $900 million verdict involving David, chose to overlook recent court developments while maintaining a narrative favorable to his adversaries, attorneys Gary Dordick and Gloria Allred.
An independent article published by Shockya on August 10, 2025, corroborates David’s allegations, gaining significant attention online while situating the incident within the larger issue of corporate involvement in CSAM monetization.
In concluding the filing, David calls for judicial recognition of the evidence pattern, demands a criminal inquiry into Tingle’s actions, and seeks acknowledgment of the aggravated breach of ambassadorial protections inherent to his wrongful arrest.
David expressed, "This case transcends personal grievances; it unveils the systems that wield media influence and judicial power to stifle whistleblowers. The public must be aware of the financial connections between mainstream media and platforms that facilitate exploitation."
The complete court exhibit has been submitted to Justice Cotter in a move towards transparency, indicating a sharp escalation in David's ongoing legal confrontations with what he labels as "corporate-protected criminal syndicates."
