Christian Nodal Appears in Federal Court as Universal Music Forgery Case Escalates

Prosecutors are moving forward based on forensic findings and a notary’s denial of signatures.

Overview

  • Christian Nodal and his parents attended an initial hearing on Tuesday at the Federal Justice Center annexed to the Reclusorio Oriente in Mexico City.
  • They face allegations tied to 32 contracts, including the suspected use of a false public document, following the FGR’s decision to bring the case to court in September.
  • Official forensic reports and the notary named on the paperwork have indicated the signatures do not match, reinforcing the prosecution’s complaint.
  • The judge could order precautionary measures such as passport retention or preventive detention, which would jeopardize Nodal’s U.S. tour scheduled to start on November 21.
  • If Universal prevails, Nodal could lose commercial control over key recordings from Me Dejé Llevar, Ahora and AYAYAY, affecting performance and licensing rights.
