In a significant ruling, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been ordered by a federal judge to hand over his luxurious $6 million Manhattan apartment to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. This decision comes as part of a defamation lawsuit in which the two election workers had accused Giuliani of falsely claiming they tampered with the votes during the controversial 2020 presidential election.

Rudy Giuliani Ordered to Surrender $6 Million NYC Apartment to Defamed Election Workers
Rudy Giuliani faces a court ruling to transfer his Manhattan condo and assets after a defamation lawsuit by election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.
Following their successful lawsuit where they were awarded over $140 million, Freeman and Moss sought to seize various assets from Giuliani, including watches, sports memorabilia, and even a Mercedes-Benz. The court has now ruled that these items, alongside the Manhattan apartment, must be surrendered within a week. The judge has also earmarked $2 million owed to Giuliani by Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign for the women.
In the detailed 24-page court order, it was noted that Guiliani must relinquish more than twenty luxury watches, a signed baseball jersey, and potentially others items still to be decided, such as his New York Yankees World Series rings. This ruling follows Giuliani's tumultuous legal battles, including losing his attorney's license and facing felony charges related to alleged attempts to overturn the election results. He has also declared bankruptcy, leaving him vulnerable to creditor claims after last month's dismissal of his bankruptcy case.
The order serves as a poignant reminder of the implications of defamatory remarks and underscores the ongoing struggles of Freeman and Moss, who have faced significant harassment as a result of Giuliani's claims.
