LOS ANGELES — Chargers chairman Dean Spanos has been sued by two of his nephews who allege that he secretly diverted money from the family trust that owns 36% of the team. They are the sons of one of Spanos' sisters, Dea Spanos Berberian. The nephews claim that Spanos — with the aid of his brother, Michael, the Chargers' vice chairman — altered the trust in February 2018 to divert money from the trust "to themselves personally." In a statement, an attorney for Spanos called the claims "meritless" and promised to address the situation "at the appropriate time, in the appropriate forum." ©2022 Los Angeles Times.
