New York (AFP) - The lawyer who negotiated a hush money payment from Donald Trump to porn star Stormy Daniels was grilled on Thursday by the former US president's defense attorney, who suggested his activities bordered on "extortion." Trump, 77, is accused of falsifying business records to reimburse his lawyer, Michael Cohen, for a $130,000 payment to Daniels just days ahead of the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton. The trial, the first ever of an ex-president, resumed on Thursday after a day off on Wednesday with prosecutors urging Judge Juan Merchan to fine Trump for more violations of a...

Strasbourg (France) (AFP) - Italy is allowed to confiscate an ancient Greek bronze fished from the Adriatic in the 1960s and now in the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, Europe's top rights court ruled Thursday. Representing a nude athlete and known in the United States as "Victorious Youth", the statue vanished following its 1964 discovery until its 1977 purchase by the museum. The Getty has since refused to return it to Italy. The museum appealed to the Strasbourg-based European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) after Italy's top tribunal in 2019 upheld an Italian confiscation order for the bronze. Fo...

New York (AFP) - Disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein faced one of his accusers in New York court Wednesday as he was told he would be retried for rape and sexual assault convictions that were overturned in the state. His 2020 conviction for raping ex-actress Jessica Mann, who was in the front row of the courtroom's public gallery and mere feet from Weinstein, was overturned by New York's highest court last week. Weinstein was visibly frail as he was wheeled into the Manhattan courtroom flanked by his lawyers, smiling and waving at supporters as he was pushed in a wheelchair past the public ...

New York (AFP) - Disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein was due in court in New York on Wednesday for the first time since his convictions in the state were overturned. The hearing, at which a judge is expected to vacate his convictions in the state but not free the 72-year-old because of a separate, unchanged conviction in California, could pave the way for a new trial. Weinstein, 72, was convicted in 2020 of the rape and sexual assault of ex-actress Jessica Mann in 2013, and of forcibly performing oral sex on former production assistant Mimi Haley in 2006. He was sentenced to 23 years in pris...

Prosecutors in the United States on Tuesday are asking a judge to hand Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, a three-year prison sentence for allowing rampant money laundering on the platform. Zhao pleaded guilty and stepped down as Binance CEO in November as the company agreed to pay $4.3 billion (€4 million) to settle related allegations. US officials said Zhao deliberately looked the other way as illicit actors conducted transactions that supported child sex abuse, the illegal drug trade, and terrorism. Binance CEO 'CZ' Changpeng Zhao steps dow...

The trial - which opened on Monday in Stuttgart - is the first to open in relation to the purported conspiracy, which came to light in late 2022. It is focused on those defendants of the Reich Citizens group who allegedly were part of its so-called military arm, German news agency dpa reported. Federal prosecutors in December filed terrorism charges against a total of 27 people, one of whom has since died. Nine other suspects, among them a self-styled prince and a former far-right lawmaker, will go on trial on 21 May at a Frankfurt state court in the most prominent of the three cases. The othe...

Los Angeles (AFP) - A woman who accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault said Friday she was not sure she could face testifying again if he is re-tried, after his New York rape conviction was thrown out this week. Mimi Haley said she felt "sick to my stomach" when she heard a court had voided the conviction of the one-time Hollywood power player. "People really don't know what I had to go through and what the other women had to go through," Haley told reporters of Weinstein's 2020 trial. "It's grueling, it's hard... you're living in fear for years... and then you're getting harassed. "Ther...
