SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 7 – A
multi-defendant case charging
narcotics conspiracy and guns,
with phone data dumps and
complaints from Valhalla and
Essex County jails landed in
Federal court.
On February 5,
2021 U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Katherine Polk
Failla held a proceeding.
Inner City Press covered
it.
Assistant US
Attorney Frank Balsamello
described the range of
discovery, and a parallel
state case.
Defendants cut
in, complaining of bad
treatment. Judge Failla
supported the idea of a
discovery coordinator.
Jump cut
to June 2022 when lead named
defendeant Drilon Haxhaj,
according to his lawyer, has
been engaged in extensive plea
negotiations - and therefore
asks that his May 2022
suppression motion be held in
abeyance. An update is due on
or before June 20.
The case is US v.
Haxhaj et al., 21-cr-17
(Failla)
