COURTHOUSE,
Jan 8 – 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 "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."
On December 31
Tal Alexander's lawyer wrote
to Judge Caproni asking for
bail, offering $115 million in
security, citing US v. Ng Lap
Seng that "conditions were
adhered to by the security
service provider." Really?
Massages behind closed doors?

On January 7,
Judge Caproni ruled that Tal
Alexander can be removed to
SDNY and set a hearing: "All
parties must appear for a
consolidated bail hearing on
Wednesday, January 15, 2025,
at 1:30 P.M. to decide the
bail appeals of Defendants
Alon and Tal Alexander and the
initial bail application of
Defendant Oren Alexander."
On January 8
Alon's counsel wrote in asking
to vacate detention, saying he
was submitting under seal a
PowerPoint presentation
"highlighting the
unreliability of certain
accusers whose identities are
known." No formal request to
seal.
This case
is USA v. Alexander, et al.,
1:24-cr-676 (Caproni)
