A judge has told Giuliani he must appear in court to explain why he has not transferred his assets to two Georgia election workers he wrongly accused of fraud.
Rudy Giuliani is still holding on to his Mercedes car and luxury watches despite a court order to hand them over, his lawyer has said.
The former New York mayor is being forced to transfer his possessions to a receivership controlled by two Georgia election workers.
In December, 2023, a Washington, D.C. jury awarded Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Shaye Moss, more than $148 million in damages for false claims that they had added votes for Joe Biden while working in an election count center in Atlanta, Georgia in 2020.
Giuliani accused Freeman and Moss of committing election fraud as ballot counters in Fulton County, Georgia. He circulated an edited clip of security footage that he wrongly claimed showed them passing USB drives.
New York federal judge, Lewis Liman had given the former New York mayor until October 26 to transfer his $6 million apartment, his 1980 Mercedes, more than 20 luxury watches, his sports memorabilia and other possessions.
On November 6, Giuliani’s lawyer, Kenneth Caruso, informed Liman in writing that Giuliani has not transferred his property but said that lawyers for Freeman and Moss have not made any arrangements for the transfer.
