COURTHOUSE,
Jan 28 – 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."
Notice of motion on Patreon here.
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.
Inner City Press
live tweeted it here;
bail was denied and the next
conference set for January 29.
On January 27
they wrote in asking to move
that to February 12, to seek
local / New York counsel and
retrieve their legal papers,

On January 28,

scheduled for Wednesday,
January 29, 2025, at 2:30 P.M.
is ADJOURNED to Wednesday,
February 5, 2025, at 2:30 P.M.

would require New York-based
counsel since they were
indicted in this District on
December 11, 2024."
