Giuliani Ordered to Surrender Assets in Landmark Defamation Case

Rudy Giuliani is required to turn over sports memorabilia and possessions to Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Wandrea Moss following a $148 million defamation judgment. The items include Giuliani's New York apartment, luxury watches, and a 1980 Mercedes, but some assets remain pending due to ongoing litigation.

In a significant legal ruling, Rudy Giuliani has been ordered to turn over prized possessions to two Georgia election workers who won a defamation case against him. The judgment requires Giuliani to hand over assets, including his New York City apartment and a 1980 Mercedes once owned by Lauren Bacall.

However, U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman ruled that Giuliani can temporarily retain his Florida condominium and New York Yankees World Series rings due to other pending litigation. The court's decision follows Freeman and Moss's $148 million win over Giuliani for his false election fraud claims.

Giuliani's assets will help compensate the workers, with the items expected to fetch millions. Despite the verdict, Giuliani has yet to pay any compensation. His attempts to delay asset sales pending an appeal were also rejected, further intensifying the financial pressure on the former mayor.
