Rudy Giuliani has complied with a court order to turn over his 1980 Mercedes-Benz convertible, luxury watch collection, and a diamond ring as part of a debt repayment to two Georgia election workers. The former mayor of New York City has been embroiled in a legal battle over a $150 million debt owed to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss for a year.
Giuliani's attorney informed a federal judge in New York that the items were delivered as requested, with the watches and ring sent via FedEx and the car delivered in Florida. Additionally, Giuliani instructed his bank to release at least $30,000 from a bank account as part of the repayment.
The legal development marks a significant moment for Freeman and Moss, who faced harassment following the 2020 election due to Giuliani's public smears while working as a lawyer for Donald Trump. Despite losing his law license, Giuliani remains associated with Trump and plans to attend events surrounding the 2024 presidential inauguration.
While Giuliani has surrendered some assets, including sentimental watches and a ring, there are still items in a Long Island storage facility that need to be sorted. Moss and Freeman are also working on gaining control of a $6 million Manhattan apartment and pursuing Giuliani's Palm Beach condo and World Series rings in court.
Giuliani's attorney has requested an appraisal of the Mercedes-Benz, once owned by Lauren Bacall, and raised objections to the trial date set for January 16, 2025, citing conflicts with inauguration events. The former mayor is seeking an adjournment of the trial until after January 22, 2025.
Despite the ongoing legal disputes, Giuliani's legal team is working to address the remaining assets to fulfill the debt owed to Freeman and Moss. The case continues to unfold as both parties navigate the complexities of the repayment process.
