Overview

  • Judge Bettina Mobilo imposed a six-month restraining order forbidding any personal, virtual or third-party contact, mention or intimidation of Paula Seminara.
  • Seminara alleges Riquelme threatened and physically pushed her at Geodis Park during the match between Boca Juniors and Auckland City.
  • She filed parallel complaints with U.S. authorities and Boca Juniors’ Department of Inclusion and Equality, requesting his preventive suspension from club functions.
  • U.S. investigators are now reviewing Nashville stadium security footage to determine whether to pursue a criminal case.
  • Riquelme’s legal team is preparing a formal response with new evidence to contest the harassment claims and dissociate him from alleged social media attacks.
