Lindsay Lohan's Mum, Dina sued for fraud

The Mother of the troubled actress Lindsay Lohan is set for yet another court date after she wasx accused of fraud for failing to pay back a $400,000 loan to a friend.

Las Vegas businessman Antonio Almeida filed a lawsuit against Dina in May last, claiming she failed to return the money he lent her four years ago to kick-start daughter Lindsay's music career.

Almeida's lawyer, A. Raymond Hamrick, says some of the money was used to record songs with Gloria Estefan's husband, Emilio Estefan.

But Lindsay Lohan parted company with Estefan after securing a deal with Casablanca Records, which released her album, A Little More Personal (Raw).

Hamrick tells PageSix: "My clients were out their money."

But Dina's lawyer, David Chesnoff says, "You mean the funds he claimed he lent her?"

Dina is currently fighting estranged husband Michael in court for custody of their two youngest children Aliana and Cody (Dakota).
