SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 31 – Emmanuel Lambrakis
pled guilty to having illegal
prescribed oxycodone without a
legitimate media purpose.
Then amid
the Covid-19 pandemic his
Fatico hearing was postponed.
In a August
26, 2021 sentencing proceeding
covered by Inner City Press,
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Katherine Polk Failla
asked, for example, about the
claim that Lambrakis was
working with a group trying to
forestall the Greek debt
crisis.
Lambrakis said he
was having problems with his
memory. He is 72 years old.
The US
Attorney's Office had asked
for 240 months incarceration.
After taking a break to
deliberate, Judge Failla
returned and imposed a
sentence of 188 months, to be
followed (if applicable) by
three years of supervised
release.
The AUSA
said she had come prepared to
ask for immediate remand. But
she didn't ask for that and it
seems it will be after
Thanksgiving, to a BOP medical
facility like Devens.
In late December
the time to surrender was
(slightly) extended: "MEMO
ENDORSEMENT as to Emmanuel
Lambrakis (1) granting [148]
LETTER MOTION addressed to
Judge Katherine Polk Failla
from Peter E. Brill dated
December 23, 2021 re: Further
Request to Delay Surrender.
ENDORSEMENT: Application
GRANTED. Mr. Lambrakis's
surrender date shall be
extended by one week, until
January 3, 2022."
The case is US v.
Lambrakis, 17-cr-208
(Failla).
