Rima Ray seeks return of $340,872 seized in Florida gambling case
Rima Ray asked a Florida court to return $340,872 in cash and a gold-coloured bar seized during a traffic stop on 2 July, according to the report. Ray argues that authorities did not meet the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act’s requirements; prosecutors allege she ran an illegal gambling operation through IL Villagio, and investigators say more than $24 million flowed through related accounts between January 2023 and July 2025.
The court challenge could determine whether authorities may retain assets seized in the alleged gambling case.
