SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 13 -- Samuel Ceruti was
changed with being part of a
conspiracy, based in the
Astoria Houses in Queens, of
stealing construction
equipment with deadly weapons.
He faced a
Guidelines sentence of 360
months or thirty years to
life.
But Ceruti become
a government cooperator and on
March 13, 2020 in the
courtroom of U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Victor Marrero the US
Attorney's Office, represented
in the case by Jason Swergold,
urged that Ceruti be released
and that the transcript be
sealed.
While there was
apparently no procedure for
the press or public to contest
the sealing of the formal
transcript, actually
imposition of sentence was put
off as the US Attorney's
Office and apparently Judge
Marrero's chambers inquire
with the Bureau of Prisons to
make sure Ceruti is released
right away.
Inner City Press,
alone in the not-sealed
courtroom gallery on March 13,
will have more on this. Its
questions are not being
answered by that Office, on US
v. Nejad, US v. Bright, and US
v. Scott (OneCoin).
This case
is US v. Ceruti, 15-cr-878
(Marrero).
