Zygi Wilf, owner of the Minnesota Vikings, could be forced to pay tens of millions of dollars to former business partners in a two-decade old civil case.

New Jersey judge Deanne Wilson has ruled that Zygi Wilf, his brother Mark and their cousin Leonard committed fraud and breach of contract while violating the state's racketeering statute (also known as RICO).

The plaintiffs have asked for $51 million in compensation.

The Star Tribune reported that the case will have no impact on the Vikings or their plans to build a new stadium.
