COURTHOUSE,
Dec 30 – Amid the
news of the arrest of the
Alexander brothers in Miami on
SDNY sex trafficking charges,
in the SDNY Magistrate Court
on the morning of December 11
the superseding indictment was
"wheeled out" to District
Judge Valerie E. Caproni.
Inner City Press was there,
and tweeted / X-ed it
out.
At a press
conference probably his last
as SDNY US Attorney Damian
Williams was asked the
underlying first indictment -
it is still not public - and
about if the brothers will be
brought to SDNY.
Yes, he said, adding that the
mechanics are "not worth
getting into."
On December 24
Tal Alexander filed opposing
transfer to SDNY - and saying
that "the government takes no
position on Tal Alexander's
motion to stay removal."

On December 30
Judge Caproni ruled "that Tal
Alexander has exaggerated the
difficulties he would
experience if he were in
transit to New York while his
attorney is formulating an
argument why the Detention
Order should be modified or
reversed, S.D.N.Y. Dkt. 10 at
2, and sees almost no merit to
his argument that his presence
in Florida is necessary while
his co-defendants and their
attorneys formulate their
arguments why they should not
be detained pending trial, id.
at 3, it nevertheless
concludes that a modest delay
in removal is appropriate to
give Tal Alexander and his
attorney easier access to each
other during the limited
period of time necessary to
prepare the appeal of the
Detention Order; IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED that the Removal Order
is STAYED until the earlier of
Monday, January 6, 2025, or a
removal order being entered
against either of Tal
Alexander's co-defendants.
(Signed by Judge Valerie E.
Caproni on 12/30/2024) (bw)
Publicly, the US
Attorney's Office for the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
said the ALEXANDER BROTHERS
worked together and with
others to engage in sex
trafficking, including by
repeatedly drugging, sexually
assaulting, and raping dozens
of female victims.
The ALEXANDER
BROTHERS, who reside primarily
in New York and Miami,
Florida, have considerable
social and financial
connections, including through
OREN ALEXANDER and TAL
ALEXANDER’s positions as
prominent real estate agents
focused on ultra-luxury
markets. The defendants
were arrested this morning in
the Southern District of
Florida and will be presented
in federal court in Miami,
Florida
This case
is USA v. Alexander, et al.,
1:24-cr-676 (Caproni)
