NEW YORK CITY — A wealthy Manhattan woman has filed a lawsuit against her estranged husband, claiming he concocted a series of elaborate lies in order to access her trust fund and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a Bergen County woman.
According to the New York Post, Candice Feinberg claims she granted her husband, Steven Lalicata, access to $744,000 from her account in order to pay off gambling debts to a group of Queens-based mobsters shortly after they married in March 2011.
However, the money was actually spent on expensive gifts and vacations for Lalicata and his mistress, Englewood resident Diana Fernandez, the suit claims.
Feinberg, who filed the suit in Manhattan earlier this year, is seeking $10.7 million in restitution.
