A judge has ordered Rudy Giuliani to turn over his Manhattan apartment and other valuables to two Georgia election workers as part of a defamation lawsuit.<\/b><\/p>\n

Last year, the two election workers – Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss – successfully sued Mr Giuliani for over $140m (\u00a3106m).<\/p>\n

Mr Giuliani, a former attorney to Donald Trump, had falsely accused them of tampering with votes during the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n

In addition to the apartment, the federal judge ruled on Tuesday that Mr Giuliani must turn over his watches, furniture and sports memorabilia to Ms Freeman and Ms Moss.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The judge also ruled that Ms Freeman and Ms Moss are the beneficiaries of $2m that the one-time New York City mayor says Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign still owes him.<\/p>\n

Judge Liman ordered Giuliani to turn over in addition to the apartment:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Any fees for services to Donald Trump and the Republican Party in 2020 and 2021 – reported to amount to about \u00a32m;
\n\u2022 Cash held in personal bank accounts;
\n\u2022 A vintage Mercedes-Benz;
\n\u2022 Various items of furniture;
\n\u2022 A television;
\n\u2022 Various items of sports memorabilia;
\n\u2022 Jewellery and a diamond ring;
\n\u2022 26 watches.<\/p>\n

The judge is yet to decide if Giuliani will be able to keep a condominium in Palm Beach, Florida and three other items of sports memorabilia.<\/p>\n

Ms Freeman and Ms Moss asked a court last month to seize some of Mr Giuliani’s assets, including multiple properties in New York and Palm Beach, Florida, as well as dozens of luxury watches, a Mercedes-Benz and other personal items.<\/p>\n

They also sought three of his New York Yankees World Series rings, one of which is valued at roughly $30,000.<\/p>\n

In the 24-page order released on Tuesday, the judge ruled Mr Giuliani must turn over more than two dozen watches and a jersey signed by former New York Yankees centre fielder Joe Dimaggio.<\/p>\n

The judge deferred judgment on the World Series rings and the condo in Palm Beach.<\/p>\n

Mr Giuliani has seven days to turn over his possessions, including the luxurious Manhattan apartment, which he previously tried to sell for $6m, according to BBC’s US news partner CBS.<\/p>\n

Mr Giuliani was stripped of his legal credentials in July after facing legal trouble for making false statements about Trump’s 2020 election loss.<\/p>\n

Separately, he has pleaded not guilty to nine felony charges in what prosecutors called a “fake elector scheme” to declare Trump the winning candidate in Arizona during the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n

Mr Giuliani was charged with 17 others for his alleged role in that scheme.<\/p>\n

He filed for bankruptcy last year after losing the defamation lawsuit to Ms Freeman and Ms Moss.<\/p>\n

The women said they had to endure threats and harassment after being targeted by Mr Giuliani.<\/p>\n

In July, a federal judge dismissed his bankruptcy case, leaving him without protection from his creditors.<\/p>\n
