Suit claims Sam Nazarian owes fees for storage of Ferrari - Los Angeles Times
The lawsuit comes as the Nevada State Gaming Commission is keeping a close eye on Nazarian's character and business operations. The lawsuit, filed last month by Reginald Foreman, alleges that Nazarian and his former brother-in-law, Sharyar Baradaran, asked Foreman on Feb. 1, 2005, to store and maintain a 1999 Ferrari 456 M GTA. Daniel Petrocelli, an attorney for Nazarian, described the allegations as "absurd on their face. " Nazarian doesn't know Foreman, never owned the car and was never contacted about any outstanding storage payments, Petrocelli said. The lawsuit asks the court to force Nazarian and Baradaran to pay damages in excess of $120,000, as well as punitive damages and legal costs. Foreman still has the Ferrari but can no longer store it, said Foreman's Beverly Hills attorney, Robert M. Ball. Foreman said in the lawsuit that he believes Nazarian and Baradaran "never made a payment so that they could conceal their connection to the disappearance of the vehicle. Baradaran reported the car stolen in 2004, according to the Beverly Hills Police Department. Source: www.latimes.com
