Overview
- Sala VII of the Cámara del Crimen rejected defense appeals and confirmed September procesamientos in the case over commercial rights linked to Diego Maradona.
- The court treated lawyer Matías Morla and his brother-in-law Maximiliano Pomargo as coauthors of fraudulent administration, with sisters Claudia and Rita Maradona deemed necessary participants, also reaching Sergio Garmendia and notary Sandra Iampolsky.
- Judges Juan Esteban Cicciaro, Rodolfo Pociello Argerich and Ricardo Pinto affirmed a preventive embargo of 2,000 million pesos, calculated from estimated brand profits, exchange-rate effects, potential indemnification and legal costs.
- The decision cites IGJ records that Sattvica SA conducted no economic activity for years and functioned as a corporate shell.
- The case began with a complaint by Dalma and Gianinna Maradona alleging improper appropriation of the 'Maradona' trademarks, while Morla’s defense says transfers followed Diego’s wishes, which the court held cannot substitute valid testamentary succession.
