Document Summary
Order of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia
This summary note is machine-generated. Always consult the original materials.

Procedural Posture

This Order, issued by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, addresses a motion filed by Petitioner Omni Bridgeway Limited seeking authorization to execute a judgment pursuant to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA), specifically 28 U.S.C. § 1610(c). The enforcement action is directed against the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy of the Republic of Albania and other related respondents.

Court's Analysis and Decision

The Court granted the Petitioner's motion upon finding that the statutory prerequisites for attachment and execution under the FSIA had been satisfied. Specifically, the Court determined that a "reasonable period of time" had elapsed since the entry of the Court's prior Order and Final Judgment on February 15, 2025, and since the Petitioner had provided the requisite notice to the Respondents.

Consequently, the Court authorized Omni Bridgeway Limited to pursue all permissible methods of attachment or execution against the Respondents' property in order to satisfy the outstanding Order and Final Judgment.
