Summary

This legal document, dated July 16, 2019, is a filing from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York to Judge Richard M. Berman. The prosecution argues for the continued pre-trial detention of the defendant, citing the recent discovery of over $70,000 in cash, 48 loose diamonds, and a large diamond ring in a safe at the defendant's Manhattan residence. The government contends these assets demonstrate the defendant has the capability to flee the jurisdiction and should therefore not be released.

IV. Cash and Diamonds
At the Detention Hearing, the Government informed the Court that diamonds and cash were seized from a safe in the defendant’s Manhattan residence. The Court inquired as to the value of these items. After conferring with law enforcement agents who have reviewed the materials from the safe, the Government has learned that the safe contained more than $70,000 in cash. In addition, the safe contained 48 loose diamond stones, ranging in size from approximately 1 carat to 2.38 carats, as well as a large diamond ring. The Government is currently unaware of whether the defendant maintains similar stashes of cash and/or jewels at his multiple properties, or in other locations. Such ready cash and loose diamonds are consistent with the capability to leave the jurisdiction at a moment’s notice.
V. Conclusion
For the reasons set forth herein, in the Government’s July 8, 2019 and July 12, 2019 detention memoranda, and on the record at the Detention Hearing, the Court should order that the defendant be detained pending trial. The defendant cannot meet his burden of overcoming the presumption that there is no combination of conditions that would reasonably assure his continued appearance in this case or protect the safety of the community were he to be released.
Respectfully submitted,
GEOFFREY S. BERMAN
United States Attorney
