This decision follows a lawsuit by Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who won over $140 million after Giuliani falsely accused them of vote tampering during the contentious 2020 presidential election.

Giuliani Ordered to Surrender $6 Million Manhattan Apartment in Defamation Case
A federal judge mandates Rudy Giuliani hand over his New York City apartment to Georgia election workers as part of their defamation lawsuit victory.
Giuliani must relinquish his luxurious Manhattan apartment, alongside significant personal assets, as a result of a federal court ruling linked to a defamation lawsuit by two Georgia election workers. Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who successfully sued the former New York City mayor for more than $140 million following baseless claims of vote manipulation during the 2020 election, are set to benefit from this decision.
In addition to the high-value property, the judge ordered Giuliani to hand over numerous luxury watches, signed sports memorabilia, and all furniture from the apartment. In what could add up to $2 million in value, the judge has also declared Freeman and Moss as beneficiaries of debts allegedly owed to Giuliani by Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign.
The women sought court approval to claim assets such as Giuliani's properties in New York and Palm Beach, various luxury items, including a Mercedes-Benz, and three of his World Series championship rings from his time with the Yankees, one of which is valued at approximately $30,000.
Among the orders issued, the court mandated the turnover of over two dozen high-end watches and a Yankees jersey once owned by baseball legend Joe DiMaggio. However, the judge deferred the decisions on the World Series rings and the Palm Beach condo for a later time. Giuliani has been given a seven-day deadline to comply with the orders.
Once a prominent figure as Donald Trump’s attorney, Giuliani faced significant legal repercussions, leading to a suspension of his legal licenses and a slew of charges related to his alleged participation in a “fake elector scheme.” In July, he pleaded not guilty to multiple felony charges regarding the scheme in Arizona aimed at falsely declaring Trump as the victor of the state's 2020 election results.
Giuliani’s financial troubles have escalated, culminating in a bankruptcy filing last year following the defamation lawsuit ruling. However, a federal judge recently dismissed this bankruptcy case, leaving him vulnerable and without legal shields from his creditors. The harassment Freeman and Moss faced post-accusation highlights the severe ramifications of Giuliani's actions during the polarized election period.
