RZ Real Estate Inc. sold Unit 519 at 680 W. Lionshead Place in Vail, CO for $2.2 million in July 2008.

We cannot tell from the documents examined below who were the ultimate owner or owners of RZ Real Estate, Inc. The company was managed by Rolando Reyes Kuri, who we’ve looked at in connection with Cyanzar Ltd., and by Humberto Zesati Andrade as shown below. Rolando Reyes Kuri and Humberto Zesati Andrade together ran customs broker Grupo Zego.

Whoever the ultimate owner or owners of Unit 519 were when RZ Real Estate was the owner of record, it is reasonable to expect they were affiliated with the owners of a Liberian corporation that had, as we show below, provided Unit 519 to RZ Real Estate, Inc. for less than $500 in January, 2008 – six months before RZ Real Estate sold the unit for $2.2 million.

In future posts ChedrauiLeaks.org will examine other activity by RZ Real Estate, its members, and their related entities.
