RUSSO’s misrepresentations and relying on his status as New York attorney, police declined to<br />

intervene.<br />

After Police left the scene, RUSSO’s and other intruders’ conduct had become emboldened<br />

and more outrageous. Intruders threatened employees of AJNA by flashing their steel batons and<br />

intentionally moving aside the flaps of their jackets displaying what appeared to be holstered<br />

handguns. Intruders verbally assaulted and threatened employees of AJNA, removed AJNA’s CEO,<br />

Nina Zajic (“ZAJIC”), and AJNA’s controller, Joseph Gill by physical force. At RUSSO’s and<br />

KHURANA’s directions, armed men unlawfully detained several AJNA’s employees restraining<br />

their movement by physical force, demanded that employees provide AJNA’s confidential and<br />

proprietary financial records, combination to AJNA’s safe and passkey to AJNA’s computers.<br />

RUSSO stated to employees that he “is running the show now” and, pointing at the armed men<br />

accompanying him, repeatedly threatened the employees that the “big guys surrounding the premises<br />

don't mess around”.<br />

After being unable to obtain the combination to AJNA’s safe, at RUSSO’s directions, his<br />

accomplices broke into the safe using a special drill, which the intruders brought with them.<br />

Intruders cracked the safe and removed over $50,000 in cash and also removed confidential and<br />

proprietary AJNA’s documents located in the safe. One of the intruders, appearing to be a “computer<br />

engineer” accessed AJNA’s computers and servers and copied data on disks, which he brought with<br />

him.<br />

Notably, prior to the raid, HAOUZI, on numerous occasions, during the pendency of Little<br />

Rest Twelve action, telephoned ZAJIC and David Kay, AJNA’s vice-president, in a threatening<br />

manner, expressed his “displeasure” that the Court was “taking too long” to decide his claim to the<br />

ownership of 15% of LRT. HAOUZI made threats that he would “expedite” this matter “in his own<br />

way.”<br />
