SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 15 – 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? 12 page filing on Patreon here

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.
