Former Yankee Alex Rodriguez stole millions from ex-siblings, exploited Hurricane Ike for profit,



Alex Rodriguez did not follow the law in baseball or in the law book.

According to the ex-sister-in-law of retired Yankees Slugger, who said that when Rodriguez married Cynthia Skurtis in the mid-2000s, they paid millions in compensation for the real estate deal they made.

In a sporadic, 16-page lawsuit filed in Miami Civil Court on Friday and unveiled on Tuesday, Constantine Skirts paints A-Rodden as a backstabber who created all sorts of fraudulent, forged and false documents and cut them off from the company.

Skurtis says he wants millions of dollars from Rodriguez, who ranks fourth in baseball history. 696, but was also suspended twice under a drug policy that boosted the league’s performance. He retired in 2016. He is currently engaged to mega star Jennifer Lopez.

This is not the first time Scottis has brought Rodriguez to court. He has filed several unsuccessful lawsuits against Rodriguez, almost a decade ago.

Rodriguez’s representative declined to comment. Attorney John C., representing A-Road. Lucas did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

Skurtis said he asked his sister to reach Rodriguez in 2014, but “the response to Scottis was that Rodriguez would never pay him another dollar again.”

In 2007, Rodriguez allegedly looked him in the eye and vowed that he would never betray his sister. A recent New York Post report said Rodriguez was caught entering a hotel room with a stripper.

In addition, Scottis says one of Rodriguez’s businesses “planned to profit from the devastation caused by Hurricane IK, which was blamed for at least 195 deaths and billions of dollars in damage.” In the alleged scheme, Rodriguez’s company, Newport Property Ventures, created an accounting record that “reflects significant inflated losses” on the properties it owns. Skurtis claims that Rodriguez paid the whistle blower to remain silent after he raised his voice.

“Rodriguez would not have succeeded in real estate without the knowledge and skills of Scrittis,” said Skurtis. The lawsuit alleges that Rodriguez and Rodriguez became partners in 2003, a year after Cynthia married Cynthia Skurtis. In the deal, Rig Driggis will take a 95% cut, as he sings cash and Skirts will get the rest to provide his services, in addition to “the 3% acquisition fee on the purchase of property that he identified as investment opportunities.”

But, it all ended in 2008. At the time, Skurtis alleged that two of Rodriguez’s business partners had moved into Skurtis’ office fees and “built” the building because he had left the building. The next day, Skartis said, Rodriguez assured him that things were okay between them and that they did not end up as friends or business partners.

“I hope I have a long quiet, loving discussion during lunch,” Rodriguez texted to Scratis, the lawsuit said. “Me and you alone.”

Allegedly, that discussion never took place.

“Skurtis never suspected that systematic and fraudulent attempts would be made to remove Skurtis’ equity in the venture after a dispute over the day-to-day running of the business arising from her sister’s divorce and to snatch her from future financial rewards. “Was duly entitled,” the lawsuit said.

Skartis said Rodriguez formed a new company without him and sold his assets to him after he stopped receiving his stake, effectively cutting it to good.

“Through their fraud, Rodriguez and his co-conspirators have caused Skurtis millions of dollars in damages,” the lawsuit said.

Scottis said Rodriguez’s suspicious business move prompted the IRS to file tax proof against him, threatening to mortgage his family’s home and bank accounts, while Rodriguez falsely reported to the government that he had sent him payments. Is.
