WASHINGTON, Aug. 5, 2022
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A team of Greenberg Traurig LLP litigators
led by Shareholders Daniel
Pulecio-Boek and James E.
Gillenwater secured the release of Samir Handal, a Miami-based Haitian and U.S. real estate
developer, from a Turkish prison and facilitated his return to
the United States.
Handal has been baselessly accused by Haiti of having a role in the July 7, 2021 assassination of then President of
Haiti Jovenel Moise.
"We are pleased that the rule of law prevailed and that Samir,
who is innocent of these accusations, is beyond the reach of
Haitian prosecution," said Pulecio-Boek a Litigation Practice
shareholder in Greenberg Traurig's Washington, D.C. office. "We are now
considering seeking relief against the parties who sought to
implicate Samir in this horrific crime."
Other Greenberg Traurig attorneys assisting in the matter were
Former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida and Miami Litigation Shareholder
Benjamin G. Greenberg, and Miami Litigation Associates Gabriel A.
Diaz and Carlos Haag.
