Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman today announced a lawsuit against Evgeny “Gene” Freidman, and four taxicab companies owned in part by Freidman, for allegedly violating taxi drivers’ rights and for breaching a settlement agreement that they entered into with the Attorney General in December 2013. That settlement required Freidman to pay $746,406 in restitution to drivers who were charged rates higher than the legally permissible amounts to lease cabs and medallions – including approximately $115,000 to reimburse drivers for unlawful healthcare fund deductions – as well as $500,000 in fines to the Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC).
