Jackson wins memorabilia legal fight

Pop star Michael Jackson has won a legal fight to shut down a pay-per-view website operated by a New Jersey man once awarded a warehouse full of Jackson family memorabilia.

The ruling went against construction firm boss Henry Vaccaro, who said he shipped the goods to a European buyer weeks ago.

A lawyer for Jackson said he would seek a court order to have the memorabilia, including gold-trimmed costumes, financial documents, letters, awards, and one of Jackson’s first outfits worn with the Jackson 5, returned.

Vaccaro said he was awarded the Jackson possessions after years of legal wrangling stemming from a failed business venture that wound up in bankruptcy court.

But Jackson’s lawyer Brian Wolf said the star’s possessions should not have been included, only property belonging to Jackson’s brothers, Tito and Jermaine, and their parents.
