Alki David Takes Bold Step: High Court Action Against Daily Mail
Alki David escalates allegations against the Daily Mail, revealing a structured legal filing of serious claims backed by evidence.
August 14, 2025
In December 2024, Alkiviades David stirred controversy with an Open Letter directed at the Harmsworth Family, which he published on Shockya. He accused the Daily Mail of protecting a network of pedophiles and silencing survivors. His criticism targeted the paper’s editorial bias, corporate entanglements, and alleged cover-ups of abuse, directly challenging the publication to confront its troubling history.
An alarming incident occurred eight months later when David found himself surrounded by police outside the Daily Mail headquarters in Derry Street, London. Following a false assault claim by reporter Rory Tingle, CCTV footage later confirmed that David was pushed by security personnel, not engaged in any wrongful behavior.
In a significant turn of events, on August 13, 2025, David took decisive legal action by filing a comprehensive document in the King’s Bench Division (Claim No: KB-2025-001991), laying out structured allegations supported by exhibits and corroboration.
David’s original Open Letter emphasized:
- The Daily Mail's alleged protection of influential figures like Gloria Allred, Anthony Pellicano, and Sean "Diddy" Combs tied to trafficking and exploitation networks.
- Historical accounts of events in Anaheim (1999) and Rancho Fiesta (2006), deemed as fronts for abuse and blackmail.
- The paper's role in propagating misleading narratives, notably the “Whacko Jacko” smear campaign, which redirected attention from deeper criminal controversies.
- A series of critical inquiries directed at the Harmsworth family about their potential complicity and awareness of these issues.
With this latest court filing, David substantiates the themes of his Open Letter with concrete evidence capturing various recent events:
- The retaliatory false arrest on August 4, 2025, which occurred minutes after David presented a 13-minute exposé outside Mirror Group HQ, in the wake of Tingle's false accusations now disproven by CCTV footage.
- Compelling connections between Daily Mail corporate structures and distribution channels often flagged for circulating Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).
- An assertion of breach of David’s ambassadorial rights for Antigua and Barbuda, arguing that the false arrest obstructed international justice efforts.
- Examples of media amplification of figures like Gary Dordick and Gloria Allred, while downplaying the $900M verdict against David, showcasing biased content curation within their reporting.
As part of the judicial action, David has urged Justice Cotter to acknowledge the evidence presented, investigate Tingle for perjury and other serious offenses, and recognize the violation of his ambassadorial protections as an instance of international obstruction of justice.
David’s Open Letter now embodies a powerful legal position as he formally challenges the Daily Mail. “The Open Letter warned them,” David stated. “The filing proves it. Now it’s on the record, in the court, and backed by evidence they can’t ignore.”
A complete copy of the filing, encompassing all relevant exhibits, has been submitted to the High Court and is accessible for public review, signifying a pivotal moment in this ongoing battle for accountability against systemic abuses.
