SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 20 – Back on
September 22, Erdal Dere and
Faisal Khan were arrested for
wire fraud related to art and
antiquities. Inner City Press
live tweeted it, here and
below.
Now on
October 20, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Loretta A. Preska to whom
their cases have been assigned
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
First, the
background:
ERDAL DERE
of Fortuna Fine Arts and
FAISAL KHAN were presented
before Magistrate Judge
Sarah Netburn on September 22.
Judge Netburn: Have you agreed
on a bail package? AUSA:
Can we have a minute?
Judge
Netburn: I can put you in a
separate room. Assistant
US Attorney returns, says SDNY
US Attorney is offering bail -
just wants to know which of
defendant's two Upper East
Side properties is the $3
million one. It's the 78th
Street address.
AUSA: Release on
his own signature today, two
weeks for the rest. The agents
already have his passport.
Judge Netburn: I
approve the proposed bail
conditions. $500,000 bond, one
co-signer, secured by
residence on 78th
Street.
Now on
October 20, Dere had attorney
Elliot Sagor, and Khan had
attorney Michael Tremonte. The
next conference was set for
January 20, 2021, with time
excluded under the Speedy
Trial Act for the production
of discovery.
The case is US v.
Dere, 20-cr-501 (Preska)
