Exclusive, Jan 17 – Gerald
Migdol, a lawyer who develops
real estate in Harlem, was
arrested early on November 19,
2021. Inner City Press covered
his arraignment and when he
was freed on $250,000 bond.
On April 12 ,
2022 the other shoe dropped
when New York State Lt. Gov.
Brian Benjamin was indicted.
Now on January 17, 2025, DOJ
has dropped its case against
him.
Back on
April 14, the day before a
scheduled proceeding in the
Migdol case, sources told
Inner City Press that Migdol
had appeared in Magistrates
Court - presumably to
cooperate / plead guilty.
Inner City Press tweeted
and reported
it. On April 15, at the time
of his proceeding, it was
"adjourned sine die." See here.
It was US
v. Migdol, et al., 21-cr-706
