ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - The man once known as America’s mayor has been ordered to turn over his valuable possessions and his Manhattan penthouse apartment to the two former Fulton County election workers he defamed in the aftermath of Georgia’s 2020 presidential election.

On Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Liman in Manhattan ordered Rudy Giuliani to surrender his valuable possessions and his Manhattan penthouse apartment to the control of Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman, who he accused of election malfeasance in 2020.

Moss and Freeman were working as Fulton County election workers during the election which saw President Joe Biden become the only Democrat since 1992 to carry Georgia or any other deep Southern state in a presidential general election.

Earlier this year, Giuliani agreed to stop accusing the mother and daughter duo of election tampering, reaching an agreement in federal court. Giuliani now owes them $150 million.

The women will also be entitled to about $2 million in legal fees Giuliani has said the Trump campaign still owes him, Liman ruled.

According to the order, Giuliani’s apartment is located at 45 E. 66th Street in New York City. The order also lists several items Giuliani must surrender to the women, including:

• A collection of several watches, including one given to him by the president of France after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks;
• A signed Joe DiMaggio jersey and other sports memorabilia; and
• A 1980 Mercedes once owned by Hollywood star Lauren Bacall.

Giuliani remains under indictment in Fulton County along with former President Donald Trump and 12 others on charges they engaged in a criminal conspiracy to alter the outcome of Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results.

“We are proud that our clients will finally begin to receive some of the compensation to which they are entitled for Giuliani’s actions,” Aaron Nathan, a lawyer for Freeman and Moss, said in a statement. “This outcome should send a powerful message that there is a price to pay for those who choose to intentionally spread disinformation.”

Freeman and Moss have already successfully sued Giuliani for defamation and won a $148 million judgment against him.
