Rob Ford’s widow, Renata Ford, has launched a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against her brothers-in-law Doug and Randy Ford and the family business, Deco Labels, claiming she and her children were bilked out of millions of dollars. The suit was filed Friday in Ontario Superior Court, Mrs. Ford claims Doug and his brother Randy, who run the Ford family businesses “conspired together” to deprive her and her children of shares in the family company Deco Toronto and the proceeds of a life insurance policy. The brothers are trustees for their late brother’s estate. A statement sent by a PC Party spokesperson on behalf of Diane Ford, mother of the Ford brothers, says “it is heartbreaking that Renata has chosen to bring forward these false and baseless allegations against our family, right in the middle of a provincial election campaign.” Coming as it does, 48 hours before the General Election, the action, whatever its merit, would seem to have been timed to influence matters beyond whatever is decided in court.
