148. million fine
Is Trump’s ex-lawyer Giuliani facing bankruptcy?
Following his conviction for defaming two female campaign workers, Rudy Giuliani, the former private lawyer of ex-US President Donald Trump, must hand over valuables and his luxury apartment in Manhattan to the two women. In December 2023, Giuliani was ordered to pay Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea Moss 148 million dollars (136 million euros). He has since filed for bankruptcy.
A judge ordered on Tuesday that Giuliani "must transfer all property listed below, including cash accounts, jewelry and valuables", as well as his outstanding legal fees and his home, according to court documents.
Falsely accused of election fraud
The ex-mayor of New York had falsely accused the two women, Freeman and Moss, of electoral fraud and made other unfounded allegations about them. Following the verdict and fine, Giuliani filed for bankruptcy at a court in New York in December.
After Trump's election defeat, the Republican Giuliani was a central figure in the unelected incumbent's attempts to overturn the election result by means of unfounded accusations of fraud and thus keep himself in office.
In earlier times, Giuliani was highly respected across party lines. Because of his level-headed reaction to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in New York, the then city leader was ennobled as "America's Mayor" by talk show queen Oprah Winfrey. Giuliani later became a loyal and often aggressive companion to Trump - he has been an irritating figure for Trump's opponents ever since.
