SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 21 –
Benzion Zirkind was arrested
and released on money
laundering charges on July 21
in the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York. He put up a $100,000
bond secured by a property at
1349 President Street in
Brooklyn owned by a friend of
the family.
SDNY
Magistrate Judge Barbara Moses
held a proceeding late on July
21, and Inner City Press
covered it.
Benzion
Zirkind unlike most defendants
in the SDNY had retained
counsel, who announced that he
had "four
questions."
Judge Moses joked that those
should be for the youngest
child.
One of the
questions was how the
defendant should avoid
speaking with co-defendants,
if some of them are sealed.
More, apparently, will be
family members.
The
President Street property is
valued at over $2 million.
The next court
date is July 29 before
District Judge Denise L. Cote.
The case is US v.
Zirkind, 19-cr-463 (Cote /
Moses)
