MORRISTOWN, NJ-In one of longest running civil lawsuits in state history, Judge Deanne Wilson issued a ruling in the 21-year old case pitting Minnesota Vikings owner Zygmunt "Zygi" Wilf and other family members against business partners in an apartment complex in Montville.
After a two-year trial, the judge found that that Zygmunt Wilf, along with his brother, Mark, and their cousin, Leonard, committed fraud, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and also violated the state's civil racketeering statute (RICO) in the case filed in Morris County Court, according to the Star-Ledger.
The Wilf partners claimed they were cheated from their fair share of revenues from Rachel Gardens, a 764-unit apartment complex in Montville. The partners of the Wilf company based in Short Hills, NJ, Ada Reichmann of Toronto and brother, Josef Halpern of Brooklyn, the former on-site manager at Rachel Gardens, are entitled to compensatory damages, punitive damages, triple damages under the RICO statute, a redistribution of revenues dating to 1992 and reimbursement for their attorneys' fees, the judge ruled.
