Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani has been ordered to hand over his Manhattan apartment, a Mercedes-Benz convertible, luxury watches and New York Yankees memorabilia to two Georgia poll workers he defamed in the wake of the 2020 election.
A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that the 80-year-old’s possessions had to be signed over to Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Moss to fulfil a nearly $150mn judgment in which Giuliani was found liable for falsely claiming the duo were engaged in electoral fraud.
Judge Lewis Liman in Manhattan gave Giuliani seven days to comply with the order. He allowed Giuliani to temporarily maintain ownership of a collection of World Series rings while the court considers a claim by his son Andrew that the memorabilia was gifted to him.
