Rudy Giuliani Surrenders Luxury Watches, Mercedes to Georgia Election Workers in $148M Defamation Case

Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, has surrendered several prized possessions, including luxury watches and a vintage 1980 Mercedes-Benz, to satisfy a $148 million defamation judgment. This judgment was awarded to two former Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whom Giuliani defamed following the 2020 presidential election. Among the items turned over were dozens of luxury watches, a ring, and financial assets. Notably, the Mercedes-Benz once belonged to Hollywood star Lauren Bacall. Giuliani's actions come after months of legal wrangling and a court order mandating the turnover of his assets. The turnover was completed ahead of a Friday deadline, marking the first payment in what Giuliani's representative described as a 'political vendetta.'
