Rudy Giuliani Ordered to Turn Over Luxury Items and NYC Apartment in Defamation Case

ai generated text

US District Judge Lewis Liman in Manhattan ruled that Rudy Giuliani must turn over a list of prized possessions, including a 1980 Mercedes, two dozen luxury watches, and his New York City apartment to election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who won a $148 million defamation judgment against him. However, the judge excluded three New York Yankees World Series rings and Giuliani's Florida condominium from the list, as they are tied up in other litigation. The possessions are expected to fetch several million dollars, and the election workers will also receive $2 million that the Trump 2020 presidential campaign still owes Giuliani.

    1. The profound irony manifest in Defendant's alleged concern is not lost on the Court.
    2. However painful the circumstances, a party cannot claim that every family heirloom should be exempt.
    3. But that does not entitle Defendant to continued enjoyment of the assets to the detriment of the Plaintiffs to whom he owes approximately $150 million. It is, after all, the underlying policy of these New York statutes that 'no man should be permitted to live at the same time in luxury and in debt.'
    4. The Court also does not doubt that certain of the items may have sentimental value to Defendant.
    1. We are proud that our clients will finally begin to receive some of the compensation to which they are entitled for Giuliani's actions.
    2. This outcome should send a powerful message that there is a price to pay for those who choose to intentionally spread disinformation.
