Police said Costa gave Gilmore an ultimatum: the “good option,” which involved telling the IRS that the money was “given as a gift or investment for a business” to get Marabella’s charges dropped; or the “bad option” which involved Gilmore’s whole family being murdered in front of him.
On Thursday, Gilmore was en route to the company’s office on Cameron Street, Las Vegas, when he noticed a purple Lamborghini at a stop sign near Starr Avenue and Dean Martin Drive, which matched a vehicle Marabella had allegedly purchased with the embezzled money, police said.
Larry Gilmore told police he ‘believed he was going to die’ when William Costa allegedly rammed an SUV into his Porsche and held him at gunpoint.
A husband abducted his wife’s boss after an IRS investigation found she embezzled millions of dollars from the business, spending the money appeared to have spent it on luxury items, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
After pleading with Costa, Gilmore was allowed to speak to his father and business partner about “fixing” the situation, according to the arrest report.
