BALTIMORE — A bitter family feud over who will control the Baltimore Orioles continues Thursday in court.
Earlier this year, Lou Angelos filed a lawsuit against his brother, John, and 80-year-old mother, Georgia, over control of the team.
Their father, 93-year-old Peter Angelos, owns the Orioles as well as a personal injury law firm.
It’s believed that Peter set up a trust of his assets, listing Georgia, Lou and John as co-trustees, which splits control of the Orioles.
But Lou is accusing John of taking complete control.
Lou lives in Baltimore County, while John has a house in Nashville, Tennessee.
In his lawsuit Lou claims that John “intends to maintain absolute control over the orioles — to manage, to sell, or, if he chooses, to move to Tennessee — without having to answer to anyone.”
Lou claims John washed his hands of his involvement with the Orioles back in 2009, but got back in the picture when Peter got sick.
That's when Lou alleges that John started making a series of business decisions, on his own.
Thursday's hearing is in Baltimore County and is scheduled for 9 a.m.
The trial is scheduled for July 2023.
