EAST CHICAGO SECOND CENTURY, INC., MICHAEL A. PANNOS, AND THOMAS S. CAPPAS, Appellees (Defendants below). _________________________________

Appeal from the Marion Superior Court, No. 49D01-0504-PL-014394 The Honorable Cale J. Bradford, Judge _________________________________ On Petition to Transfer from the Indiana Court of Appeals, No. 49A02-0708-CV-722 _________________________________ April 13, 2009 Shepard, Chief Justice.

The City of East Chicago and Showboat Marina Partnership agreed that part of the proceeds from riverboat gambling would flow back for community benefit through various entities. The Attorney General has now brought claims for constructive trust and unjust

enrichment as to property in the hands of one of those entities, East Chicago Second Century, Inc., and its principals. We reverse the trial court's dismissal of these claims.

Facts & Procedural History

In 1993, Showboat Marina Partnership initiated the process of applying for a riverboat casino license in the City of East Chicago pursuant to Indiana's Riverboat Gambling Act. See Ind. Code
