Maradona Case Development: Two of Diego's sisters and his legal representative face fraud allegations
In a recent development, a Buenos Aires appeals court has indicted Diego Maradona's former lawyer, Matias Morla, and two of his associates for the alleged fraudulent management of the "Diego Maradona" brand. This trial is distinct from the annulled trial in May 2025, which was due to the recusal of a judge involved in an unauthorized documentary about the case.
The case, which involves two of Maradona's daughters, Dalma and Giannina, and three other children as civil parties, centres around the transfer of the "Diego Maradona" brand after the late Argentine World Cup champion's death in November 2020. The accusation was initially made by Dalma and Giannina in 2021, with three other children later joining the accusation.
The court has ordered a seizure of 2 billion pesos, approximately 1.13 million euros, from all the accused in the case. This seizure is intended to ensure the fair distribution of the brand's assets, a matter that has been a point of contention among Maradona's family members.
It's important to note that this brand-related trial is running concurrently with a procedure to determine the responsibility of several healthcare professionals in Maradona's death. However, the date for the new trial regarding Maradona's death has not yet been announced.
The alleged fraudulent management of the "Diego Maradona" brand is the focus of the indictment. The case against Maradona's former lawyer and associates includes his sisters, Rita and Claudia, and a notary, potentially implicating other accomplices as well.
The annulled trial in May 2025 was significant as it aimed to hold several health professionals responsible for Maradona's death. However, the name of the judge who overturned this first trial is not found in the provided search results.
This news serves as a reminder of the ongoing legal proceedings surrounding the legacy of the iconic football star, Diego Maradona. As the case unfolds, it promises to shed light on the management of his brand and the circumstances surrounding his death.
