A Naples consulting firm says a business of an Italian media giant owes $1.7 million in fees related to four condo projects in the Miami area.

The attorney for the defendants says the allegations are “beyond the pale.”

Genesis Project Management & Consulting filed its lawsuit December 24 in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court against GV Development Group. GV, which is based in Fort Lauderdale, is led by Rafi Gibly and Gianluca Vacchi.
