“Craig Rothfeld, Mr. Weinstein’s authorized representative and prison consultant, confirms that Mr. Weinstein has been brought back to the Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward so that he can be treated for the myriad of health conditions that he is still afflicted with on a daily basis such as diabetes, high blood pressure, spinal stenosis, fluid on his heart and lungs, and various other conditions,” the statement said.
“In addition, Mr. Weinstein tested positive for COVID and contracted double pneumonia in his lungs.”
Engelmayer also confirmed to CNN that Weinstein was transferred to the Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward late on Wednesday night.
In that case, Weinstein was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
He has maintained his innocence and denied any nonconsensual sexual activity.
