Two New York-based real estate investment funds for German investors serving as absentee landlords have filed a civil racketeering lawsuit against two South Florida companies and three people.
U.S. District Judge Robin Rosenbaum in Fort Lauderdale granted a temporary restraining order Aug. 23 freezing the assets of seven companies in Miami-Dade and Broward and six people, saying the funds “are substantially likely to prevail” on counts brought under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
