John Angelos was accused in a lawsuit of taking control of the team at the expense of his brother, Lou, in defiance of their father's wishes.
Peter Angelos became the Orioles' owner in 1993, but his public role has waned in recent years.
Peter and Lou are listed on the team's website as part of its limited partnership group. Lou said John tried to take control of their father's estate while he was excluded.
The suit stated that Peter Angelos became disabled. John embarked on a series of steps to take control of Mr.Angelos' assets. He made his mother bend to his will by manipulating her when she was eighty years old.
LouAngelos is the person who is in the lawsuit. They are defendants.
Peter Angelos had an operation after his valve failed. He had a power of attorney around that time.
The suit said that the purpose of the documents was to make sure that Mr. Angelos' sons worked together in support of their mother. Mr. Angelos didn't mean to exclude his other son from control of his estate.
John Angelos is accused of trying to undermine Georgia Angelos' trust in Lou and of trying to exclude him from the Orioles' business matters.
The corrupting effect of John's actions has been to frustrate Mr. Angelos.
There's no mention of whether there's any chance of the team moving. Mrs. Angelos thought it was in the trust's best interest to sell the team, but John Angelos tried to stop that.
According to the lawsuit, John Angelos ordered former Orioles outfielder Brady Anderson to be fired in order to remove people who were against his actions. After retiring from baseball, Anderson returned to the organization and became a vice president of baseball operations.
When asked if the team or John Angelos had any response, the Orioles didn't say anything.
