The lawsuit, in which the brother of Alex’s ex-wife claims $50 million, was filed seven years ago. In early February, a Miami court ruled that Lopez’s boyfriend would have to answer to the law even after so many years after the charges were filed.
The judge added that no further amendments are allowed in this case and all the issues that the court will consider will be based only on the claims set out in the current complaint of the plaintiff.
It is known that after marrying Cynthia Scurtis in 2002, Rodriguez and her brother started a real estate business: the athlete invested 95% of the capital, and Scurtis the remaining 5% (also he received 3% commissions from the purchase of new homes and apartments).
By 2008, the business was estimated at a billion dollars, but Constantine claims that in 2005 Alex convinced him not to take a commission, and invest in business development to make money remained liquid within the company. The move, Scurtis alleges, cost him $ 8 million.
He also said that Rodriguez removed his name from the documents of some companies that were created for specific projects in the real estate sector, once again depriving him of significant profits.
According to the plaintiff, he was “fraudulently pushed out of business and deprived of income.”
“Defendant Alex Rodriguez, a former Yankees baseball player, is a serial con man and liar. After Alex deceived his wife Cynthia and lied about his affairs, he also deceived his brother-in-law during their real estate partnership,” the court documents said.
