Overview

  • Judge Carlos Goggi lifted the injunction on July 7 after reviewing documentation proving Carlos Menem’s grant of irrevocable, royalty-free and perpetual rights to the series.
  • The civil injunction had paused the global premiere and all diffusion of the six-part miniseries since late May, following a lawsuit by Carlos Nahir Menem over his father’s image rights.
  • Carlos Nahir Menem argued that the rights ceded to Claxson Argentina and Yulgok Media were part of an open inheritance succession, prompting the court to demand clarification.
  • Created by Mariano Varela and directed by Ariel Winograd, “Síganme” stars Leonardo Sbaraglia as Menem and dramatizes key phases of the former president’s life.
  • All six episodes will launch on Amazon Prime Video on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, concluding the legal dispute and ending uncertainty over its release schedule.
