London,
(ANI):
Actress
Eva
Longoria
Parker
has
been
sued
for
at
least
4
million
dollars
by
her
former
Las
Vegas
nightclub
partner.
Mali
Nachum,
a
former
partner
in
the
financially
troubled
Beso
club,
filed
the
suit
on
Monday
in
Los
Angeles
County
Superior
Court,
claiming
that
Longoria
violated
California
usury
laws,
reports
the
Telegraph.
The
Desperate
Housewives
star
lent
Nachum
1
million
dollars
for
the
venture
in
2009
and
was
promised
repayment
at
8
per
cent
annual
interest
and
a
large
stake
in
the
club.
But
according
to
the
suit,
Nachum
discovered
in
December
that
the
terms
violated
California
usury
laws.
He
estimates
damages
of
at
least
4
million
dollars
and
is
seeking
three
times
that
figure.
A
statement
from
Longoria's
publicist
calls
the
suit
meritless
and
blames
her
former
partners
for
forcing
the
nightclub
into
bankruptcy
protection
last
week.
