Dali will make his first appearance in Brooklyn federal court on Thursday, officials confirmed.

“We are addressing this matter thoroughly and will continue to work closely with our regulators, law enforcement agencies and other relevant stakeholders,” the report continued. “Nothing is more important than safety and security.”
