The attempt by someone to foreclose on Graceland is about to become the subject of multiple criminal investigations … TMZ has learned.
Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Graceland officials, along with people from Riley Keough‘s camp, were in touch with the FBI Tuesday, and we’re told the agency is “interested” in conducting a criminal probe.
We’re also told the would-be victims are in the process of contacting the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
As we reported, a judge was supposed to rule as to whether the foreclosure auction could move forward, triggered by an alleged unpaid $3.8 million debt Lisa Marie Presley never paid, supposedly using Graceland as collateral. Well, everything we’ve seen connected to this foreclosure looks sketchy, and that’s a generous take on what really went down.

We’re told Lisa Marie never took out a $3.8 million loan, and the notary who supposedly witnessed Lisa Marie signing the loan documents says that never happened … she never even encountered Lisa Marie, ever.
The entity behind the foreclosure backed off the auction Wednesday, after a judge temporarily halted it. That’s especially weird … walking away from a supposedly unpaid $3.8M loan.
Our sources say … the folks connected to Graceland believe one individual is behind the fraud, and they know that person’s identity.
The heat is on.
