Maradonaβs lawyer and two of his sisters to stand trial over βundue profitβ from his trademarks
An Argentine court on Tuesday ordered the case to proceed to trial against Diego Armando Maradonaβs last lawyer and legal representative, MatΓas Morla, as well as his sisters Rita Mabel and Claudia Norma Maradona, who are accused of defrauding the sports iconβs legitimate heirs in the exploitation of his commercial trademarks. More than five years after the starβs death, the National Criminal and Correctional Court No. 43 rejected a request to dismiss the charges and declared the investigative phase closed.
