A federal judge has upheld a $1 million verdict in a civil Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act case filed by a man who claimed his daughter and son-in-law sabotaged his business by embezzling company funds and diverting them to their own company.

U.S. District Judge Mark Kearney of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania denied Michael and Nina Kaplan’s motion to vacate the jury award handed down to Nina Kaplan’s father, Ted Levy.
