In particular, the defendants once again stated that the jurisdiction of the State Office of Public Prosecutor does not apply to companies, since they do not operate in New York, and the so-called Martin Law does not regulate their business at all. In addition, this legislation may not apply to companies registered in another country.

The next meeting in the high-profile case is scheduled for June 29.
