Legal Action by Alkiviades David Against Daily Mail Raises Serious Accusations

In a significant legal move, Alkiviades David has lodged a detailed complaint against Daily Mail executives, alleging a range of serious misconduct, including corporate connections to child exploitation materials, retaliatory arrest, and media suppression of his actions. This filing reflects an intensive investigation into the interconnectedness of corporate media and wrongdoing.

London, August 13, 2025 – Renowned British entrepreneur and public interest advocate Alkiviades “Alki” David has initiated a major legal action in the King’s Bench Division of the High Court, targeting executives of the Daily Mail, its corporate affiliates, and journalist Rory Tingle. David's filing alleges involvement in a concerted effort of retaliation, narrative manipulation, and suppression against him.

The extensive 100+ page complaint, recorded under Claim No: KB-2025-001991 before Justice Cotter, encapsulates years of investigative work. It presents multifaceted evidence, including corporate connections to platforms involved in the dissemination of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), a videotaped instance of a retaliatory arrest, and strategies highlighting legal adversaries while disregarding substantial shifts in significant court cases.

Key Claims in the Submission

Corporate Associations with CSAM Distribution
The allegations in the documents trace a web of corporate associations that links MailOnline (Daily Mail) to DailyMailTV, which is represented in the U.S. by CBS Media Ventures, extending through CBS Interactive to subsidiary Download.com. This chain has reportedly been cited in whistleblower accounts as a significant route for the distribution of CSAM. David posits that this situation creates “a corporate environment of foreseeable risk,” combining mainstream media content with risky and inadequately regulated platforms.

Retaliatory Arrest Incident
On August 4, 2025, David was apprehended outside the Daily Mail Group’s Derry Street headquarters, following accusations from Rory Tingle regarding minor physical contact. CCTV footage from the Metropolitan Police contradicted Tingle's allegations, depicting David as being pushed by security personnel. He was released the next day with just a caution. This incident occurred shortly after David filmed and shared a 13-minute exposé addressing corporate wrongdoing at Mirror Group. David argues this sequence suggests a clear case of retaliatory targeting against him.

Violation of Ambassadorial Duties
In his capacity as an ambassador for the green economy of Antigua and Barbuda, David asserts that the arrest constitutes an aggravated disruption of justice in an international context, compromising the actions of a government-appointed representative, and potentially infringing upon his diplomatic protections.

Media Suppression and Favorable Coverage of Adversaries
David claims that the Daily Mail, which extensively reported on a previous $900M sexual assault verdict against him, has conveniently omitted subsequent crucial developments — notably the issuance of a court order freezing that judgment in July 2025. Simultaneously, the publication has allegedly continued to produce supportive content regarding his adversaries, including Gary Dordick and Gloria Allred, ignoring relevant facts that would detract from their narratives. The filing includes visual evidence of these promotional articles alongside defamatory imagery of David.

Corroboration from Independent Media
The document references a viral article published by Shockya on August 10, 2025, titled “Daily Mail’s Rory Tingle Caught on Viral Video Fabricating Assault Claim to Protect Corporate Child Sexual Abuse Material Empire.” This independent report, which has garnered widespread visibility, reinforces David's claim of false arrest and underlines the broader corporate structures implicated in CSAM monetization.

Judicial Actions Demanded
The High Court filing requests:
- Recognition of the entire pattern of the presented evidence.
- Referral of Rory Tingle for criminal charges related to perjury, obstruction of justice, and collusion in a CSAM network.
- Acknowledgment of the breach of ambassadorial protections and the classification of the arrest as obstructing international justice.

Alkiviades David’s Statement
David remarked, “This case transcends my personal circumstances — it’s crucial to reveal the systems that manipulate the press, the judicial framework, and corporate connections to silence dissenters. The community has a right to know when major media is financially linked to platforms engaged in child exploitation and when journalists misuse the legal system to retaliate against whistleblowers.”

Public Access
Transparency measures have been instituted, with the full court exhibit made accessible through the King’s Bench Division, and additional copies will be available publicly. This legal action marks a considerable step forward in David’s ongoing struggles against what he characterizes as a “contemporary, corporate-backed criminal syndicate.”
