In addition, Mitchell and Kolay’s local associates have launched criminal proceedings and an injunction against Barroso De La Fuente for alleged threats against Mitchell and his associates.

The company founded by Barroso De La Fuente and his father in Mexico is Pisos Kolay, SA de CV, which changed its name to Lalur, SA de CV after Mitchell became aware of Barroso De La Fuente’s misconduct.

Allegations against Barroso De La Fuente and his company in the US case included allegations of breach of fiduciary duty and conspiracy to harm Kolay.
