The Brooklyn woman who has lived in the same house as her estranged hubby -- with a court-ordered plywood and Sheetrock wall separating them -- since 2006 has hit her spouse with a multimillion-dollar lawsuit, accusing him of everything from racketeering to illegally stashing dough in Swiss bank accounts.
'Roses' gal sues hubby for $26M
By KATE SHEEHY • NY Post
"The War of the Roses" is starting to look tame by comparison.
The Brooklyn woman who has lived in the same house as her estranged hubby -- with a plywood and Sheetrock wall separating them -- since 2006 has hit her spouse with a multimillion-dollar lawsuit, accusing him of everything from racketeering to illegally stashing dough in Swiss bank accounts.
In the $26 million-plus suit filed in Manhattan federal court yesterday, bitter Borough Park wife Chana Taub, 61, also targets police, prosecutors, five judges and several of her former lawyers.
She claims that each defendant at various times illegally tried to thwart her efforts to nail her hubby, Simon, 62, for different crimes.
Chana could not be reached yesterday, but her husband told The Post that they still live in the same house on 49th Street as they continue to duke it out.
"The wall is very strong -- two layers of Sheetrock," chuckled Simon Taub, referring to the court-ordered barrier erected in the home.
"Sometimes, a person makes a wrong turn and can't climb back on track," he added, describing his wife's actions.
