RUDY GIULIANI MUST TURN OVER HIS MANHATTAN APARTMENT AND OTHER PERSONAL POSSESSIONS TO TWO GEORGIA ELECTION WORKERS WHO WON A DEFAMATION JUDGMENT AGAINST THE FORMER NEW YORK CITY MAYOR, A FEDERAL JUDGE RULED TUESDAY.
THE ELECTION WORKERS, RUBY FREEMAN AND SHAYE MOSS, ARE NOW APPOINTED RECEIVERS TO GIULIANI’S NEW YORK CITY PENTHOUSE APARTMENT, HIS 1980 MERCEDES BENZ, SOME OF HIS LUXURY WATCHES AND JEWELRY, ALONG WITH CASH IN TWO CHECKING ACCOUNTS.
THE JUDGE ORDERED GIULIANI TO TURN OVER THE POSSESSIONS WITHIN 7 DAYS OF THE ORDER.
FREEMAN AND MOSS WILL RECEIVE CONTROL OVER GIULIANI’S INTEREST IN HIS APARTMENT AND THEY, IN TURN, WILL BE ABLE TO SELL IT FOR POTENTIALLY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
THE JUDGE DECIDED, FOR NOW, GIULIANI CAN KEEP HIS HOME IN PALM BEACH, FLORIDA ALONG WITH FOUR NEW YORK YANKEES WORLD SERIES RINGS– WHICH GIULIANI’S SON HAS STATED ARE HIS AND WERE GIVEN TO HIM BY HIS FATHER.
LAST DECEMBER, FREEMAN AND MOSS WERE AWARDED $150 MILLION AFTER GIULIANI WAS FOUND LIABLE FOR DEFAMATION AFTER HE MADE FALSE CLAIMS THE WOMEN WERE INVOLVED IN BALLOT TAMPERING DURING THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
THE WOMEN ARGUED GIULIANI PUT THEIR LIVES IN DANGER BY SPREADING THE FALSE INFORMATION.
A HEARING REGARDING THE FLORIDA PROPERTY IS ON THE BOOKS FOR MONDAY.
