The lawsuit accuses Alfie Oakes of failing to repay millions of dollars in the Naples raid

NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — A day after federal agents raided two properties owned by conservative businessman Alfie Oakes, newly unsealed court documents accuse the high-profile MAGA Republican of failing to repay millions of dollars in loans.

According to neighbors, an intense scene erupted in Oakes’ neighborhood when agents from multiple federal agencies showed up in unmarked cars outside his North Naples home.

Police also showed up at the Oakes packaging plant in Immokalee.

The lawsuit accuses Alfie Oakes of failing to repay millions during a raid on his Naples home

The U.S. Department of Defense’s Office of Inspector General confirmed that its DCIS agents conducted law enforcement operations on Oakes’ properties in coordination with the IRS and Secret Service.

However, none of the agencies have revealed the exact reason for this.

Court documents show Farm Credit of Florida filed a civil lawsuit last month against Oakes and his wife, accusing them of defaulting on portions of a $4 million loan. The complaint said Farm Credit had the right to seize property if the loan was not repaid. However, it remains unclear whether this financial dispute was the trigger for the latest federal lawsuit.

John Meo, chairman of the Collier County Republican Executive Committee, spoke with Oakes after the raid.

Meo expressed disappointment at the conduct of the raid, calling it excessive.

“It’s not a good look for America when five or six agencies show up at someone’s business or home,” Meo said. “The crime is that he had to go through this process and it was not done in the way it would normally be done. There are no three-letter agencies that come to your door like you are a mass murderer,” Meo added.

Oakes declined to immediately comment to reporters, saying only “Go Trump” when approached near his home in Naples. Meo expressed confidence that Oakes would “get the situation under control.”

“Alfie is very familiar with adversity, having worked in so many different industries, and he did well; he will be fine,” Meo added.

Fox 4 News reached out to Oakes and Farm Credit of Florida’s attorney for further comment but had not heard back as of Friday afternoon.
