Rudy Giuliani still hasn’t turned over any of his valuables ordered to be transformed to the two election workers he defamed, their attorneys say — including the Mercedes he was seen driving in Palm Beach, Fla., on Tuesday.
The former Trump attorney was photographed in a 1980 Mercedes-Benz SL500 convertible outside a polling place where former President Donald Trump voted.
A car formerly owned by Hollywood legend Lauren Bacall was among the items a federal judge ordered Giuliani to turn over to Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss last month. $146 million verdict owes them.
On Oct. 22, U.S. District Judge Lewis Lima gave Giuliani one week to dispose of his personal property “including cash, jewelry and valuables, a legal claim for unpaid attorney fees and his interest in his Madison Avenue co-op apartment.” acceptance”.
In a Monday filing, Freeman and Moss’ attorney Aaron Nathan said Giuliani “has yet to place any assets into receivership” and that he and his attorney “refused or failed to answer key questions.” the location of the majority of the property subject to receipt”. It includes some of Giuliani’s prized Yankees memorabilia, including an autographed Joe DiMaggio jersey and an autographed Reggie Jackson photo.
Nathan added that representatives of Freeman and Moss were “finally allowed into Giuliani’s New York apartment on Halloween,” only to discover that he had “moved out almost all of the contents about four weeks ago” — something that neither the defendant nor the defendant’s attorney was concerned about. something. to celebrate.”
They said they were told the car was in Florida, but not where it was garaged, and that Giuliani’s luxury watch collection was also in Florida, but not which watches. He also has yet to hand over any cash from his bank accounts or co-op shares and rental property for the apartment.
Citing Nathan’s allegations on Tuesday, Liman ordered Giuliani to appear before him in New York on Thursday and denied a request by Giuliani’s lawyer to be held remotely or in person next week.
“Our attorneys have requested documents to transfer the car’s title and have not heard back from opposing counsel,” said Ted Goodman, a spokesman for Giuliani.
He also said Freeman and Moss tried to leave the former New York mayor “penniless and homeless” and that Giuliani did not run.
“Mayor Giuliani provided his property and assets as ordered. Several items were put into storage over the past year and everything that was removed was related to his two live broadcasts,” Goodman said.
Freeman and Moss filed an enforcement action in August after another judge Rejected Giuliani’s bankruptcy filing in part for failing to hand over information about their businesses while providing incomplete or incorrect information about their personal expenses.
Giuliani filed for bankruptcy shortly after a grand jury returned a massive verdict against Freeman and Moss for repeatedly perjuring him, subjecting them to racist death threats and forcing them to resign.
In that case, the judge found for former federal prosecutor Giuliani. liable for defamation after ignoring orders to turn over the requested information to Freeman and Moss.
