Today, meanwhile, the former boss of Miramax appeared in court walking with difficulty with the help of a "walker": tomorrow – his lawyers said – he will be operated on his back. At the end of the hearing, Judge James Burke increased the bail from one to five million dollars for violating the conditions of house arrest by improperly using the electronic bracelet.Weinstein is expected to return to court in early January to respond to allegations of two women claiming to have been sexually assaulted in 2006 and 2013. The criminal trial against the former producer attracted the bulk of the attention while the civil cases went ahead with secret talks involving American women, but also Canadians, British and Irish, the charges of which in many cases were time-barred.

Eighteen of them will share a total of 6.2 million dollars with the condition that none will receive more than half a million each. Another block of money, amounting to 18.5 million, will go to the participants in a class-action and future prosecutors, with a mandate to a court appointee to establish the extent of the payments based on the severity of the damage suffered. Among the accusers of Weinstein there are also famous actresses like Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow is Salma Hayek: none of them is part of the complaints at the center of the plea agreement.
