SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 2 – William Koch sued
the Department of Justice, as
well as the Federal Bureau Of
Investigation for compliance
with the Freedom of
Information Act. He is
one of the Koch brothers.
On August
2, 2022 U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Paul A.
Engelmayer held a proceeding.
Inner City Press covered it.
A related
FBI FOIA request "relates to
Bill Koch's decades long
efforts to uncover and expose
rampant fraud in the
international market for rare
wines." This one, to
DOJ, "relates to the
now-closed prosecution of Rudy
Kurniawan."
Judge
Engelmayer asked genially how
FOIA exemption might apply to
Jencks Act and Rule 16
material, and said to have a
good summer, he looks forward
to the status reports.
As recounted in
the parallel FBI FOIA case, in
2005, Koch discovered four
bottles he'd bought were
counterfeit. Bradley Goldstein
"has overseen Bill Koch's wine
investigations since 2006."
(Nice work if you can get
it).
In that
case, Judge Rakoff ruled that
by June 25 the FBI must
propose a discovery schedule;
Koch's filing is due the next
day, with each side able to
reply on July 27.
That case is Koch
et al v. Federal Bureau Of
Investigation, 22-cv-4421
(Rakoff)
This case is Koch et al v.
U.S. Department of Justice,
22-cv-3712 (Engelmayer)
