Two former Georgia election workers who won a $148 million defamation judgment against Rudy Giuliani are asking a court to award them the cash-strapped former New York City mayor’s apartment and other property as they ramp up efforts to collect on the staggering debt.
FILE - Rudy Giuliani speaks during a news conference outside federal court in Washington, Dec. 15, 2023. against Rudy Giuliani asked a court Friday to award them the cash-strapped former New York City mayor’s apartment and other property as they ramp up efforts to collect on the staggering debt.
If Giuliani does not turn over his property in a timely fashion, Freeman and Moss' lawyers said they will see other remedies to wrest control, citing his history of “evasion, obstruction, and outright disobedience.”Giuliani spokesperson Ted Goodman criticized Friday's filing as a step “designed to harass and intimidate the mayor” while he's appealing the “objectively unreasonable” judgment.
As Giuliani’s bankruptcy case played out, Freeman and Moss’ lawyers accused him of using the process as a “bad-faith litigation tactic” and a “pause button on his woes.” Creditors accused him of flouting bankruptcy laws and potentially hiding assets. The bankruptcy dismissal cleared the way for Giuliani’s creditors – chief among them Freeman and Moss – to pursue legal remedies to recoup at least some of the money they’re owed. It also freed Giuliani to pursue his appeal of the defamation verdict.
In addition to his homes, cash and Yankees mementos, Freeman and Moss are also seeking to take about two dozen of Giuliani’s watches, a diamond ring, costume jewelry, a TV, various items of furniture and a 1980 Mercedes-Benz SL500. When he filed for bankruptcy, Giuliani listed nearly $153 million in existing or potential debts, including the $148 million owed to Freeman and Moss, almost $1 million in state and federal tax liabilities and money he owed lawyers. He estimated he had assets worth $1 million to $10 million.
