Widow of 'Crocodile Hunter' Sued for Allegedly Unpaid Debt

MELBOURNE, Australia (Fox News) — The widow of television's "Crocodile Hunter" on Wednesday lost the first round in a legal battle over more than $2.3 million dollars the conservationist's zoo allegedly owes creditors.

Alyssa Treasury Services, a debt recovery agency, is suing Australia Zoo, the wildlife park that was operated by Steve Irwin and his widow, Terri, for money allegedly owed to trustee partners.

The full details of the suit have yet to be released. But documents presented to the court indicate Singapore-based investment bank HQZ Argentum helped set up the trust, which then ran into trouble with the Australian Tax Office.
