US election: Rudy Giuliani drove to vote in a seized Benz

Two election workers in Georgia are said to have prevented Donald Trump from being elected in 2020, Rudy Giuliani repeatedly claimed. Until the two took legal action against her after numerous death threats. In an out-of-court settlement, he was ordered to pay the two of them $148 million. The deadline to hand over his possessions expired last week and the two are still waiting. Giuliani doesn’t seem to care much: he showed up to cast his vote in a very striking Mercedes – which he should have given in long ago.

The car is anything but inconspicuous. The convertible, a Mercedes 500SL from the R107 series, once belonged to actress Lauren Bacall. Reporters in front of the polling station in Palm Beach, Florida, quickly noticed him. When asked about this, Giuliani preferred not to comment.

There may be a simple reason for this: According to a lawyer’s letter from the opposing party, the former mayor of New York City is persistently trying to protect his assets from being handed over to the defamation victims. According to the letter, he “has not yet revealed where the vast majority of the bankruptcy assets are located, although his lawyer has asked him to do so several times.”

In fact, Giuliani apparently goes even further: According to lawyer Aaron Nathan, his apartment in Manhattan, worth around five million dollars, is said to have been completely emptied in the last few weeks, contrary to the judge’s decision.

However, this is not a cover-up, claims Giuliani’s lawyer, Kenneth Caruso, to “The Hill”. His client tried to hand over the assets but received no response. Giuliani’s spokesman also emphasized to “The Hill” that the defendant had “made all of his possessions available” and that only “a few items” had been stored. Giuliani needs all the other goods removed from the apartment for his daily live streams. Lawyer Nathan described these statements to the Guardian as “misleading”.

Giuliani’s security chief, however, has his own approach to explaining the convertible that was transferred from New York to Florida. “Mayor Giuliani is an 80-year-old man with a bad knee and a respiratory illness caused by 9/11,” he told the Guardian in a sympathetic manner. “He needs this car as his primary means of transportation in Florida; after all, there is no mass transit system here like in New York.”

However, this contradicts a statement from Giuliani’s spokesman. He claimed that they would have wanted to hand over the car long ago anyway. “But the other side simply didn’t react.”
