Overview

• Universal’s lawyer says that if a judge links Christian Nodal to process, measures could include retaining his passport, travel restrictions, arraigo or justified detention.
• FGR experts reported signatures on dozens of contracts did not match the named notary, who stated he never certified those documents.
• Universal has 34 active claims tied to songs and videos from Nodal’s first three albums and says it will pursue damages in court.
• The initial hearing is set before a federal control judge in Mexico City, with the label arguing the documents used to claim rights were falsified.
• Universal says it continues depositing royalties for the disputed works, while reports indicate Nodal has not collected them in recent years; separately, Nodal paused a free UANL concert after boos for Ángela Aguilar and chants of “Cazzu,” telling the crowd his wife joins only when he trusts the audience.
