Judge Sets Nov. 18 Charging Hearing for Christian Nodal and Parents in Universal Music Case

The session follows a failed negotiation window with Universal Music.

Overview

  • A court notice read on the TV program Ventaneando schedules the hearing to formulate charges for 2:35 p.m. on Nov. 18.
  • Universal alleges falsified signatures on more than 30 early contracts to claim song rights, with reports citing 34 filings covering songs and videos from Nodal’s first three albums.
  • Authorities allowed time for talks that produced no settlement, moving the dispute from negotiation toward a criminal procedure step.
  • If charges are formalized or the defendants do not appear, commentators say measures could include search, location, or arrest orders, as well as possible travel restrictions.
  • The accusations stem from Nodal’s past relationship with Universal, while he currently works with Sony Music and has not commented publicly on the case.
