SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 20 – Emmanuel Lambrakis
pled guilty to having illegal
prescribed oxycodone without a
legitimate media purpose.
Then amid
the Covid-19 pandemic his
Fatico hearing was postponed.
Now in a
August 26, 2021 sentencing
proceeding covered by Inner
City Press, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Katherine Polk Failla asked,
for example, about the claim
that Lambrakis was working
with a group trying to
forestall the Greek debt
crisis.
Lambrakis said he
was having problems with his
memory. He is 72 years old.
The US
Attorney's Office had asked
for 240 months incarceration.
After taking a break to
deliberate, Judge Failla
returned and imposed a
sentence of 188 months, to be
followed (if applicable) by
three years of supervised
release.
The AUSA
said she had come prepared to
ask for immediate remand. But
she didn't ask for that and it
seems it will be after
Thanksgiving, to a BOP medical
facility like Devens. (During
the lengthy sentencing it
emerged that DOJ aims to close
the MCC jail, but that's another
story).
The case is US v.
Lambrakis, 17-cr-208
(Failla).
