An American Express subsidiary is suing a Maryland man who was jailed for months in Aruba in the suspected death of his traveling companion.
The subsidiary, AMEX Assurance Company, seeks to void a travel insurance policy that Gary Giordano, of Gaithersburg, took out in Robyn Gardner’s name before their Caribbean vacation last year. The lawsuit, filed last week in federal court in Maryland, says the policy isn’t legally enforceable because Mr. Giordano and Ms. Gardner aren’t married or otherwise related, weren’t business partners and didn’t own property together.
It also accuses him of lying on insurance forms by identifying Ms. Gardner as his “partner” when the two actually had what the company calls a “casual and non-exclusive” relationship.
