Appellate Court Processes Morla and Maradona’s Sisters, Orders 2 Billion-Peso Embargoes in Brand Case

The ruling reverses earlier dismissals to refocus the case on alleged simulated transfers of trademarks to Sattvica after Maradona’s death.

Overview

  • Sala IV of the Cámara del Crimen processed Matías Morla, Rita Mabel and Claudia Nora Maradona, Maximiliano Pomargo, notary Sandra Lampolsky and Sergio Garmendia for defraudación por administración fraudulenta.
  • Judges Ignacio Rodríguez Varela, Hernán López and Julio Marcelo Luciani ordered preventive embargoes of up to 2,000 million pesos on each defendant’s assets.
  • The chamber identified Morla and Pomargo as co-authors of the alleged fraud and deemed the sisters and Lampolsky necessary participants.
  • The case was initiated by Maradona’s five children over control of trademarks managed through Sattvica, which the court described as a simulated guise for gratuitous transfers.
  • Sources linked to the file say the daughters submitted records of offshore money movements tied to brand deals, and proceedings continue with the oral trial phase still pending after earlier disruptions.
